Born in Saint-Amand-Montrond, Alaphilippe started his career competing in the cyclo-cross discipline and finished second in the Junior World Cyclo-Cross Championships in 2010.

Alaphilippe's road career began in 2012, riding with amateur team {{UCI team code|ADT|2012}}. During that season, he impressed at the Tour de Bretagne, finishing eleventh overall, and finished second overall and won a stage in the Coupe des nations Ville Saguenay, a UCI America Tour 2.2 event.{{cite web |url=http://www.procyclingstats.com/rider.php?id=137427 |title=Julian Alaphilippe » Omega Pharma – Quick-Step |access-date=10 May 2014}}

Alaphilippe joined {{UCI team code|KLC|2013}}, the development team of UCI WorldTeam {{UCI team code|EQS|2013}}. The young rider had an even more successful season in 2013, taking a solo victory on stage 4 of the Tour de Bretagne. Later in the year, he came 4th in the European Road Race Championships and 9th in the UCI Road World Under-23 Championships. He also won the final stage and the points classification of the Tour de l'Avenir, the Grand Prix Südkärnten, and a stage at the Thüringen Rundfahrt der U23.

Alaphilippe joined {{UCI team code|EQS|2014}} in 2014. He made his professional debut in January, at the Tour Down Under, and obtained his first podium in the professional ranks on the opening stage of the Volta a Catalunya. He was also second in Stage 5. Alaphilippe scored his first victory as a neo-pro in Stage 4 of the Tour de l'Ain,{{cite news|url=http://www.etixx-quickstep.com/en/news/show/tour-de-l-ain-stage-4-alaphilippe-wins-first-pro-race-of-career-opqs-1st-and-3rd/1893/carlos-verona|title=Alaphilippe Wins First Pro Race of Career!|date=16 August 2014|work={{UCI team code|DQT|2014}}|publisher=OPQS Official|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150316053436/http://etixx-quickstep.com/en/news/show/tour-de-l-ain-stage-4-alaphilippe-wins-first-pro-race-of-career-opqs-1st-and-3rd/1893/carlos-verona|archive-date=16 March 2015|access-date=16 August 2014}} where he showed his explosiveness in an uphill finish ahead of Dan Martin, just days after another top 3 finish, at the RideLondon–Surrey Classic.

His best World Tour result of the year in a one-day race was a fifth-place finish from a seven-man group in the GP Ouest–France.{{cite news|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/gp-ouest-france-plouay-2014/results/|title=Chavanel wins GP Ouest France-Plouay|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company|date=31 August 2014|accessdate=3 September 2021}}

2015 was a breakthrough year for Alaphilippe. After two top-10 finishes at the Volta a Catalunya, he rode in a supporting role at the Ardennes classics to help his teammate, the reigning world champion Michał Kwiatkowski, and finished 7th in the Amstel Gold Race behind winner Kwiatkowski. In La Flèche Wallonne, his first time participating in the race, he continued to support Kwiatkowski but found his teammate too far behind at a crucial juncture. His team director told him to go for the win and he finished second on the Mur de Huy behind three-time winner Alejandro Valverde.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/alaphilippe-fends-off-flche-veterans-for-notable-second-place|title=Alaphilippe fends off Flèche veterans for notable second place|first=Alasdair|last=Fotheringham|author-link=Alasdair Fotheringham|date=23 April 2015|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company|access-date=23 April 2015}} The scenario repeated itself at Liège–Bastogne–Liège a few days later, when Alaphilippe finished second in his La Doyenne debut, again behind Valverde.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/alejandro-valverde-wins-liege-bastogne-liege-2015-168251 |title=Alejandro Valverde wins Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2015 |work=Cycling Weekly |publisher=IPC Media Sports & Leisure network |date=26 April 2015 |access-date=26 April 2015 |author=Nigel Wynn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304091736/http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/alejandro-valverde-wins-liege-bastogne-liege-2015-168251 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }} In doing so, Alaphilippe recorded the best French performance at the race since Laurent Jalabert's runner-up finish in 1998.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/alaphilippe-takes-frances-best-lige-bastogne-lige-result-since-1998 |title=Alaphilippe takes France's best Liège-Bastogne-Liège result since 1998 |work=Cyclingnews.com |publisher=Future plc |date=26 April 2015 |access-date=26 April 2015 |author=Alasdair Fotheringham}}

After those performances and a string of podium finishes in the Tour de Romandie, Alaphilippe signed a two-year contract extension in May, until the end of the 2017 season.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/alaphilippe-signs-contract-extension-with-etixx-quickstep |title=Alaphilippe signs contract extension with Etixx-QuickStep |work=Cyclingnews.com |publisher=Immediate Media Company |date=4 May 2015 |access-date=4 May 2015}} Later in the month he won the queen stage of the Tour of California, atop Mount Baldy, and took over the lead in the general classification, two seconds ahead of Peter Sagan.{{cite news |title=Tour of California: Alaphilippe wins on Mt.

Alaphilippe started his season at February's Tour La Provence, and recorded his first top-ten finish of the season at April's Brabantse Pijl, before finishing sixth at the Amstel Gold Race. Later in April, Alaphilippe again placed second at La Flèche Wallonne, as he did in 2015. He then earned his biggest victory at the time, at the Tour of California, when he won a stage atop Gibraltar Road and the overall. The lead was taken on stage 3 when he attacked on a hors-catégorie climb with less than {{convert|1|km|abbr=off}} left. His form continued at the Critérium du Dauphiné where he finished sixth overall and first in the young rider classification – his first white jersey at a UCI World Tour race.{{cite news |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/criterium-du-dauphine-2016/stage-7/results/ |title=Criterium du Dauphine 2016: Stage 7 Results |work=Cyclingnews.com |publisher=Immediate Media Company |date=12 June 2015 |access-date=5 July 2015 |author=Stephen Farrand}} In late June, he was named in the start list for the Tour de France.{{cite web | url=http://www.procyclingstats.com/race.php?id=163736&c=3 | title=2016 > 103rd Tour de France > Startlist | access-date=30 June 2016| work= ProCyclingStats}} During the Tour de France, he held the young rider classification from stages 2 to 6, after taking second in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin and won the combativity award on stage 16.

Alaphilippe was then selected to represent his nation at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, competing in the road race and the road time trial.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/france-announce-mens-olympic-road-team|title=France announce men's Olympic road team|date=14 July 2016|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company}} During the road race, he caught up with the leading group of cyclists on the final climb of Vista Chinesa, but his crash on the descent hindered him from joining the final attack launched by Greg Van Avermaet and Jakob Fuglsang to catch the sole leader Rafał Majka before the finish line.

Alaphilippe started his 2017 spring preparation at the Abu Dhabi Tour, where he finished fifth overall and won the best young rider classification. In March, he rode Paris–Nice and won his first career individual time trial, with an uphill finish on stage 4. He kept his race lead over the next three days,{{cite web|url=http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/auvergne-rhone-alpes/allier/montlucon/paris-nice-incroyable-coureur-auvergnat-julian-alaphilippe-1212933.html|title="Un Paris-Nice incroyable" pour le coureur Auvergnat Julian Alaphilippe|date=13 March 2017|website=.francetvinfo.fr|language=fr|access-date=13 March 2017}} before finishing fifth overall, and won the young rider and points classifications.
