Alexander Donski (Macedonian: Александар Донски) (born 1960 Štip, Republic of Macedonia) is a Macedonian historian, writer and translator.

Donski researches documents and artefacts from Macedonian history and ethnology. His second focus is researching genealogy, especially the genealogy of people from the Macedonian history.

His hypothesis is that there is cultural, linguistic and ethnic continuity between modern (Slav) Macedonians and the Ancient Macedonians. His second hypothesis is that there is fundamental ethnic distinction between Macedonians and Bulgarians.

Donski begins with his hypotheses and selects documents and artefacts from the history that concur with his arguments displaying strong nationalist Macedonian positions. Therefore his work is seen as controversial and heavily criticised particularly by Bulgarian authors.[1]
