Alexander Gamelin (born February 22, 1993) is an American-born ice dancer. He competed from the 2004–05 through the 2014–15 season with his twin sister, Danielle Gamelin. The two won the gold medal in senior dance at the 2015 U.S. Eastern Sectionals and placed seventh at the 2015 U.S. Championships. After his sister's retirement from competitive figure skating in April 2015, he teamed up with Yura Min to represent her home country, South Korea. They are the 2017 South Korean national champions and finished eighth at the 2016 Four Continents Championships. Gamelin will likely be granted South Korean citizenship, along with other foreign athletes in the running to compete for South Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Alexander Gamelin and his twin sister, Danielle, were born on February 22, 1993, in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1998, along with his family, he moved to Merrick, New York where he attended public elementary and middle school. In 2010, he relocated to Newark, Delaware, where he attended the American School, an accredited distance learning high school, from which he graduated in 2013 with high honors.

In May 2014, Gamelin moved to Novi, Michigan. He is a Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society college student, majoring in linguistics and foreign languages.

Gamelin's interest in ice dance emerged at the age of 3 when, with his twin sister, he watched a television broadcast of the 1996 World Figure Skating Championship ice dance event. The interest then blossomed in 2000, when at the age of seven, he and his sister began the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program in Merrick, New York.
