'Aleksandrs Starkovs' or 'Aleksandr Starkov' (born July 26, 1955 in Madona, Latvia) is a Latvian-Russian football coach who used to coach Skonto FC and Spartak Moscow.
Starkovs has previously coached Skonto FC, Rīga (from 1992 to 2004) and Latvian national team (from 2001 to 2004).

After his success as the national team coach, he joined Spartak Moscow, but in April 2006 he was forced to quit due to total obstruction from team's fans.
