Alexander Salkind (June 2, 1921 – March 8, 1997) was the second of three generations of successful international film producers.

Born in Gdańsk, Poland, his family moved to France where his father, Michael Salkind worked as a film producer. Following in his father's footsteps, Alexander Salkind produced French films as well as others throughout Europe and in Hollywood. His productions include a number of notable films such as 1960's Austerlitz directed by Abel Gance and 1962's Le Procès (The Trial) directed by Orson Welles.

However, for North American audiences, Salkind is best remembered for producing 1978's Superman starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. Salkind's production, The Three Musketeers (1973), lead the Screen Actors Guild to issue what became known as the "Salkind Clause", which guaranteed that an actor was only expected to make one film when a contract was signed.

His son, Ilya Salkind (b.1947), is also a film producer.

On his passing at his home in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1997, Alexander Salkind was interred in the Cimetière de Bagneux in the Parisian suburb of Montrouge.
