Alexandre Volkoff (Russian Александр Александрович Волков, transliteration Aleksandr Aleksandrovič Volkov, 1885–1942) was a Russian actor, screenwriter and film director. He established his film career in Russia and was one of a significant number of film artists who fled the country following the Bolshevik takeover.[1]

The bulk of his output was in France where he was known as Alexandre Volkoff. He also made films in Germany and later Italy and collaborated several times with his fellow Russian exile, the actor Ivan Mozzhukhin.
