Tony MacAlpine (born August 29 1960) is a neo-classical shred, and later jazz shred guitarist. Tony is also a classically trained pianist and plays all the keyboard parts on his own albums. He has often been accused of imitating the style of Yngwie Malmsteen (sometimes by Malmsteen himself), but as his career has progressed, his style has diverged significantly from Yngwie's.

MacAlpine plays guitars and keyboards in the band Steve Vai and The Breed (i.a. the Real Illusions Tour 2005) and is featured on the band´s Live at the Astoria London DVD as well as on the live G3 DVD, Live in Denver.
