Alexander Toft Søderlund (born 3 August 1987) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a forward in the Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne. He has been capped for Norway at international level.
After playing for Stegaberg in his youth, Søderlund played for Haugesund and Vard Haugesund before he later became something of a journeyman, spending time at six different clubs in four different countries between 2007 and 2010.
In 2010, Søderlund returned home, and played for his old club Vard in the closing stages of the 2010 season. In January 2011, he moved to FK Haugesund, and on 20 March 2011, Søderlund made his debut in Tippeligaen against Tromsø. He got his first two league goals against Stabæk on 8 May 2011, and finished his debut season with 11 goals.
Rosenborg announced on 17 June 2013, that they had bought Søderlund from Haugesund as a replacement for Tarik Elyounoussi who was sold to the German Bundesliga. Søderlund joined the club on 15 July. Søderlund played 12 matches and scored three goals for Haugesund in the 2013 season, and as the club eventually finished in third place in Tippeligaen for the first time in the club's history, Søderlund was eligible for bronze medals. But as his new team Rosenborg finished second, Søderlund was only awarded silver medals due to a change in the rules after Thomas Holm won both gold and silver with two different teams in the 2011 season. Søderlund won another silver-medal in 2013, as Rosenborg lost the 2013 Norwegian Football Cup Final 4–2 against Molde.
