Alexandre Vladimirovich "Sasha" Fadeev (Russian: Алекса́ндр Влади́мирович Фаде́ев; born 4 January 1964) is a Russian former competitive figure skater who represented the Soviet Union. Fadeyev is the 1985 World champion and a four-time European champion.
Alexandre "Sasha" Fadeev was born in Kazan, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. He is married to a Canadian figure skater, Cydèle Fadeeva, and resides in Illinois.
Fadeev won bronze at the 1979 World Junior Championships and then gold the following year. In the 1983–84 season, he won his first European title and stepped onto his first World podium, taking the bronze medal.
Fadeev won the 1985 World Championships by placing first in all three segments of the competition including compulsory figures and the short and long programs. He took the gold medal ahead of Brian Orser (silver) and Brian Boitano (bronze).
At the 1986 World Championships, Fadeev entered the long program with a comfortable lead and needed only a third place in the long program to defend his title. Five major mistakes, however, placed him fifth in the segment and third overall. He took the bronze medal behind Brian Boitano (gold) and Brian Orser (silver).
Receiving several 6.0s, Fadeev regained his European title in 1987. He repeated as the bronze medalist at the World Championships, finishing third again behind Orser and Boitano in Cincinnati.
