Alexander Nikolayevich Zaitsev (June 15, 1935 – October 31, 1971) was a leading Soviet chess grandmaster. He was born in Vladivostok, Russia.
Perhaps his finest achievement was a share of first place at the 1968/69 USSR Chess Championship of Alma Ata. He eventually took the silver medal after losing the (Vladimir) play-off to co-winner Lev Polugaevsky.
