Aleksandr Georgievich Gorshkov (Russian: Александр Георгиевич Горшков) (born October 8, 1946 in Moscow) is a figure skating champion from the former Soviet Union.
Gorshkov trained at Dynamo. His skating partner was his wife, Lyudmila Pakhomova. They began skating competitively in 1967 and married in 1970. They were world champions from 1971 to 1974 and won their fifth world title in 1976. At the 1976 Winter Olympics, they won the the first gold medal awarded for ice dancing.
