Alexander "Ali" Marpet (/ˈæli mɑːrˈpɛt/; born April 17, 1993) is an American football guard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL).

Marpet played college football at Hobart College, a small liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,271. In 2014, he was a Lindy's preseason All-American first team, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) All-American, D3football.com All-America first team, and Liberty League Co-Offensive Player of the Year.

He attended the 2015 Senior Bowl, as the first NCAA Division III player picked to play in the all-star game. Sports Illustrated named Marpet the "biggest riser" at the game, and included him on its All-Offense team. At the Scouting Combine in February 2015, he ran the fastest 40-yard dash among offensive line prospects eligible for the 2015 NFL Draft (4.98), the fastest 10-yard (9.1 m) split (1.74 seconds), and also the second-best time in the three-cone drill (7.33) and 20-yard shuttle (4.47), while scoring the highest "Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness" (SPARQ) score. He also performed 30 repetitions at 225 pounds (102 kg) in the bench press, tied for fifth-best among offensive linemen. He also had a vertical leap of greater than 30 inches, and a Wonderlic test score of over 30.

Drafted in the second round, 61st overall, of the 2015 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Marpet is the highest-drafted pick in the history of NCAA Division III football.
