Alexander Leonidovich Andrijevsky (Russian: Алекса́ндр Леони́дович Андрие́вский; born August 10, 1968, in Minsk, Soviet Union) is a former Belarusian professional ice hockey player who played one game in the National Hockey League for the Chicago Blackhawks. He is currently the head coach to Admiral Vladivostok of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Andrijevski spent the first six seasons of his career with his hometown team Dinamo Minsk between 1984 and 1990. In 1991, he moved to Dynamo Moscow. 1991 was also the year Andrijevski was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks, who selected him 220th overall in the 10th round. After one more season in Moscow, Andrijevski moved to North America, signing with the Blackhawks. For the 1992-93 season, he was assigned to the Indianapolis Ice of the International Hockey League before being called up by the Blackhawks for his only NHL game. The next season, he played just four games for Indianapolis before moving to the Kalamazoo Wings in the same league. It would be his final year in North America as he moved to the SM-liiga in Finland, joining HPK where he spent four seasons. He spent the last four seasons of the career in Germany as well as a two-game spell in Italy.
