Alexander Nikolaevich Sidelnikov (August 12, 1950 – June 23, 2003) was a Soviet ice hockey player who played goaltender in the Soviet Hockey League. He played for Krylya Sovetov Moscow. He was inducted into the Russian and Soviet Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976. He won a gold medal at the 1976 Winter Olympics.[1]

Sidelnikov won 4 medals, 2 gold and one silver and bronze, at the World Ice Hockey Championships, in each case as back up to hockey goaltender legend Vladislav Tretiak. Notably he was the starting goalie for the USSR's stunning loss to Poland on April 8, 1976, being one of the great upsets of World Championship history.
