Alexander "Alex" Shatilov (Hebrew: אלכסנדר "אלכס" שטילוב, Russian: Александр Шатилов; born March 22, 1987) is an Israeli artistic gymnast. He specializes in the floor exercise, in which he won several medals at World and European Championships, reached the finals at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics, and competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics. In 2013, Shatilov won a gold medal at the European Championship in gymnastics in Moscow, Russia.
Alexander Shatilov was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in a Russian Jewish family. He began his gymnastics training in Uzbekistan at the age of 5. He immigrated to Israel with his family in 2002. He is unusually tall for a gymnast, at 183 cm or 6 ft.
Shatilov placed seventh at the 2006 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, and became the first Israeli gymnast in a world apparatus final. He placed fifth on floor exercise at the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. He also won a gold medal in the Glasgow World Cup in 2008.
Shatilov represented Israel at the 2008 Summer Olympics. In the qualifying stage, he placed 8th on the floor apparatus and qualified for the final. He placed 29th overall, and just missed the cut for the all-around final. In the floor final he failed to improve his ranking and placed last of the eight finalists, which was still the best ever achievement in artistic gymnastics for an Israeli gymnast.
