Alex Aust is an American women’s lacrosse player. Having played with the Maryland Terrapins at the collegiate level, she was named to the US national team for the 2015-16 season. In 2016, she was selected by the Baltimore Ride with their second pick overall in the inaugural United Women's Lacrosse League Draft.

In every one of her four seasons with the Terrapins, the program boasted an ACC championship. As a freshman in 2010, she was a member of the NCAA national championship team. During the 2012 ACC Tournament, she set a tournament record for most assists (13) and points (17). She would set a career-high for most goals in one game with five, achieving the feat against Virginia on March 1, 2013. As a side note, her younger sister Nicole was a teammate for two seasons.

Aust graduated from Maryland with 132 career assists, third-best in program history. In addition, she logged 275 points, which placed her sixth all-time among Terrapins female lacrosse players. After graduation, she would return to the Terrapins as the Director of Operations with the Maryland women's lacrosse program.

Aust played in the first game in Baltimore Ride history, but did not register a point. In the Ride’s second game, a 17-16 loss to the Boston Storm, Aust set a league record and team record for most goals in a game. She would score a hat trick in the first and second half of the game, logging six goals overall.

In 2013, Aust became an Under Armor sponsored athlete. Two years later, Aust was named as the first female spokesperson for the HEADstrong Foundation.
