Alex Thomas is an English drummer from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, who currently performs with Squarepusher and Air.

He joined Bolt Thrower on August 21, 1997 at the age of 19, after initially being asked to join three years previously but was unable to join the band due to his age. He played drums on Mercenary and the Into The Killing Zone tour, then left the band in 2000 due to lack of interest in the musical direction that Bolt Thrower were taking.

He has also played with Badly Drawn Boy, Groop Dogdrill, New Young Pony Club, Bat For Lashes, played guitar with Fridge and under the name Earl Shilton, he has released the album Two Rooms (Full of Insects) released on the Invisible Spies record label.
