Alexandar John Richardson (born 30 April 1990) is a British former cyclist, who competed as a professional from 2017 until June 2024.

A former shipbroker, Richardson began cycling during mid-2015, and took a surprise solo win in the 2018 Lincoln Grand Prix, a couple of weeks after leaving the ONE Pro Cycling team.[2] In 2019, Richardson rejoined the Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes team he had competed for in 2017, and won the Arno Wallaard Memorial and a stage of the Tour de la Mirabelle. For 2020, he joined the Alpecin–Fenix team.[1]

In October 2021 Richardson was subjected to an armed robbery. He was training in Richmond Park when he was set upon by motorcyclists with a machete who stole his bike.[3]
