Alexander Karl Mikael Björk (born 7 June 1990) is a Swedish professional golfer.
Björk turned professional in 2009 and played on the Nordic Golf League before moving on to the Challenge Tour, where he won his first event, the Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge, in July 2016. Following eight top-ten finishes including a tie for second at the Terre dei Consoli Open, he ended the season ranked seventh on the 2016 Challenge tour Order of Merit, securing a card for the 2017 European Tour. At the time, in November 2016, he ranked 181st on the Official World Golf Ranking.
In 2012, Björk became the first golfer to list himself through Trade in Sports, an exchange for athletes, funding the launch of his professional career by pledging 10% of winnings to investors.
