A-Lex is the eleventh studio album by Brazilian metal band Sepultura, released on 23 January 2009 through the independent German label SPV. It is their second concept record, following Dante XXI in 2006, and this time the inspiration is Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange, which Stanley Kubrick turned into a film in 1971.

It also marks a change behind the kit. Jean Dolabella makes his first appearance as drummer, the first Sepultura album with him since Igor Cavalera left in 2006. The band's sound draws on groove metal, thrash and death metal, with hardcore punk in the mix, so it is a good one for anyone curious how Sepultura carried on in the post-Cavalera years.
