Alexandre "Álex" Geijo Pazos (born 11 March 1982) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Italian club Venezia F.C. as a striker.
The son of Spaniards who immigrated to Switzerland, Geijo was born in Geneva. He started his professional career in his country of birth with Neuchâtel Xamax in 2000, moving the following year to Spain where he began playing with Málaga CF, with little individual success (15 matches in three seasons, playing mostly for the B-team), being released in the 2005 summer.
For the next two years, Geijo played in the second division with another Andalusia club, Xerez CD, where he blossomed into a useful attacking player, scoring 13 goals in his first season. For the 2007–08 campaign, he joined Levante UD: in a team severely hindered by financial problems, and eventually relegated from La Liga, he finished as the second team goal scorer at five, behind Mustapha Riga's eight.
Geijo started his second year strong, netting ten second level goals before the end of 2008. However, he missed the remainder of the season due to a serious fibula injury, after an awkward fall in a training session.
On 28 July 2009, Geijo joined Racing de Santander for four years. Still recovering from injury, he nonetheless completed a successful medical.
Geijo's first goal only arrived on 24 January 2010, but it was a crucial one, as the Cantabrians beat Sporting de Gijón away by a single goal. However, on 1 February, he signed with Udinese Calcio in Italy, rejoining former Levante coach Gianni De Biasi.
