Aleksandr Vyacheslavovich Golubev (Russian: Александр Вячеславович Голубев, born 19 May 1972) is a former Russian speed skater. Very surprisingly he came to the top in the 500 m in Vikingskipet at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. He didn't place himself in the top three in any other international championship after that. But he stands with one individual victory on 500 m in the World Cup from 1993.
