Alexander Kravchenko ( _ru. Александр Кравченко, born April 21, 1971 in Arkhangelsk, USSR) is a professional poker player based in Moscow, Russia. He started playing poker in 1997.

Kravchenko had some other notable cashes in 2007, including making the final table (finishing fifth) in the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe tournament, a £2,500 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event, as well as finishing 3rd in the "Moscow Millions", which featured the largest ever prizepool for a tournament held in Russia.
