Alex Pullin (born 20 September 1987) is an Australian snowboarder. He competed for Australia at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Snowboard cross. He had the fastest qualifying time (1:20.15) in his event,[2] but was eliminated in the first round of competition, finishing in 17th place by virtue of his qualifying time.[3] Pullin has also competed in the Winter X Games since 2008. In 2011 he became an ambassador for Suzuki Australia as part of a sponsorship with the vehicle manufacturer.[4] Outside of snowboarding, Pullin fronts a reggae band called Love Charli.[5]

Pullin was the flag bearer for the Australian Winter Olympic team at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games in Russia[6] and competed in the Men's Snowboard Cross. One of the favorites in that event, Pullin was eliminated in the quarterfinals.[1][7]
