Aleksei Viktorovich Tishchenko (Russian: Алексей Викторович Тищенко; born 29 May 1984) is a former Russian Olympic boxer best known for dominating the lower weight classes and winning numerous titles. He was regarded as "one of the best pound for pound Olympic boxers in the world".[citation needed]

He was born in Omsk, Soviet Union.
