Alexander Yu. Olshanskii (Russian: Александр Юрьевич Ольшанский; born 19 January 1946) is a Russian-American mathematician renowned for his contributions to combinatorial and geometric group theory. He is particularly noted for constructing infinite groups with unusual properties and for developing geometric methods in group theory. Olshanskii has also made significant contributions to the study of Lie algebras and algebraic systems.

He served as the Centennial Professor of Mathematics at Vanderbilt University from 1999 until becoming professor emeritus in 2024.
