Alejandro Damián Faurlín (born 9 August 1986) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish club Getafe CF.
Faurlín began his playing career in 2004 with Rosario Central in the Primera División Argentina, making his debut in a 1–0 away defeat to Quilmes on 9 May 2004. After making only one appearance for his home town club, he joined Atlético de Rafaela of the Argentine 2nd division in 2007, followed by Portuguese side Marítimo B in 2008. Between 2008 and 2009, he played for Instituto de Córdoba of the Argentine 2nd division.
On 7 July 2009, Faurlín signed for Queens Park Rangers for an alleged club record fee that could rise to £3.5 million, though there is no evidence that QPR had paid that amount to Instituto. The Football Association (FA) found the player joined the club on Bosman transfer, but under contract with American incorporated company TYP Sports Agency LLC. TYP acquired the rights from Instituto for just US$250,000. In 2010, TYP requested QPR to pay US$1 million (£615,000) and filed a complaint to the FA. In October, Faurlín extended his contract whereupon £200,000 was paid to TYP's owner Peppino Tirri as an agent fee. In January 2011, QPR paid £615,000 to TYP. Due to the involvement of third-party ownership, QPR was fined in 2011, as it violated regulations put in place by the FA after a similar, earlier case involving Carlos Tevez. The violation could have resulted in a penalty of deducted points for QPR, but on 7 May, the FA announced that QPR would not be deducted any points and consequently would be promoted to the Premier League after placing first in the 2010–11 Football League Championship.
