Alejandro Román Ganzábal (born 16 February 1960) is a former professional tennis player from Argentina.

Ganzabal made his Grand Slam debut in the 1981 French Open and managed to reach the third round, beating former finalist Manuel Orantes and American Steve Krulevitz.

In 1982 he was runner-up in the Buenos Aires Grand Prix tournament and made quarter-finals at Venice, Boston and Quito. He had an upset win over third seed Eliot Teltscher in Boston. At the French Open that year, Ganzabal defeated Júlio Góes in the opening round but was unable to overcome Mike Myburg in the second round, losing in five sets.

His best result in 1983 was at Aix-En-Provence in France, where he was a quarter-finalist. He was defeated by Fernando Luna in the opening round of that year's French Open.

The Argentine didn't make an appearance on the 1984 Grand Prix season until July, as he had been ill with hepatitis. He finished the year well, making the quarter-finals in North Conway, semi-finals in Geneva and quarter-finals in Indianapolis. At these tournaments he secured two wins over top 20 player Tomáš Šmíd and also defeated world number 11 Henrik Sundström.
