Alexander Grimm (born 6 September 1986 in Augsburg)[1] is a German slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 2002.

He also won three gold medals in the K1 team event at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships, earning them in 2007, 2010 and 2011. He won a total of eight medals at the European Championships (2 golds, 5 silvers and 1 bronze).[2]
