Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark (Greek: Αλεξάνδρα), later known as Grand Duchess Alexandra Georgievna of Russia (Russian: Алекса́ндра Гео́ргиевна); 30 August [O.S. 18 August] 1870 – 24 September [O.S. 12 September] 1891), was a member of the Greek royal family by birth and of the Russian imperial family by marriage.

Alexandra was the daughter of George I of Greece and Olga Constantinovna of Russia, and grew up in Athens. In 1889, she married Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, her first cousin once removed. The couple settled in Saint Petersburg and they had two children: Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna (1890–1958) and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich (1891–1942). She died of childbirth complications during the birth of her son in 1891.
