Alex Jeannin (born 30 December 1977 in Troyes) is a French footballer who currently plays for Hereford United as a left-back.

He began his career at local club Troyes, where he mainly played for the reserves in the fifth tier of French football. He made two first team appearances in Ligue 2 during the 1997-98 season. He then moved to Racing Club Paris where he played in the Championnat National

He started playing in England in the 2000-01 season when Darlington signed him from Troyes AC. However midway through the following season his contract was terminated reportedly after a breach of discipline. His next spell in English football was with Exeter City where he spent two seasons before being released at the tail end of the 2004-05 season. After a very brief spell with Bristol Rovers where he played just one game, he joined Hereford United.

In his first season at Hereford he started 52 matches, missing only 5, and scored 3 goals in all competitions, one notably on his 28th birthday when he scored a free-kick against Exeter City, a moment that was televised live. He was left out of the squad initially at the start of the current season, but has recently broken back into the team. He scored his first goal of the season against Torquay.

Alex was also one of three players to hit the crossbar in Soccer AM's Crossbar Challenge recently.
