Alexander Breidvik (born 17 March 1986) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder.

Hailing from Askvoll, he first became known in 2002, when he won a talent contest held by the television channel TV3.[1] He then joined Sogndal Fotball, and got one Norwegian Premier League game in 2003 and two in 2004.[2] Sogndal were then relegated.

In early 2007, Breidvik suffered a serious head trauma at La Manga, effectively ending his professional career.[3] In 2008 his former teammates arranged a fundraiser for him.[4]
