Alexandrova (foaled 2003) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. The bay filly was sired by Sadler's Wells out the mare Shouk. She is the granddaughter of Northern Dancer, her damsire is Shirley Heights. Alexandrova became the fifth Oaks Stakes winner sired by Sadler's Wells, following Salsabil, Intrepidity, Moonshell and Imagine, putting the stallion alongside the late-nineteenth century and early-twentieth century stallion St Simon as the joint most successful sire of winners of this British classic.

Alexandrova was bred in Ireland by Quay Bloodstock and purchased on behalf of a Coolmore partnership for 420,000 guineas at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sales 2004 . Owned by Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, and trained by Aidan O'Brien, in 2006 Alexandrova became the first horse in seven years to win the Epsom Oaks, Irish Oaks and the Yorkshire Oaks. Ridden by jockey Michael Kinane, in the 1½ mile Yorkshire Oaks, for the first time she raced against older fillies and mares and won by 3½ lengths.
