Alex Marchal García (born 17 September 2007) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a left winger for La Liga club Real Sociedad.
Marchal's father Irurzun was also a footballer. A striker, he notably represented Real Madrid, Málaga CF and Gimnàstic de Tarragona in La Liga.
Born in Gorraiz, Navarre, Marchal joined Real Sociedad's youth sides in 2022, from UDC Txantrea. He made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of 16 on 25 August 2024, starting in a 1–0 Primera Federación away win over SD Ponferradina.
In September 2024, Marchal started to train with the first team, and renewed his contract until 2027 on 30 November. He contributed with 33 appearances overall for Sanse during the season, as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División.
Marchal made his professional debut on 29 August 2025, coming on as a second-half substitute for Job Ochieng in a 2–2 home draw against UD Almería. He scored his first professional goal on 21 December, but in a 3–1 home loss to AD Ceuta FC.
On 25 June 2026, Marchal renewed his link with the Txuri-urdin until 2029. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 August, replacing fellow youth graduate Ander Barrenetxea in a 1–0 loss at Real Betis.
