Alexandrina Barbosa Cabral (born 5 May 1986) is a Portuguese-born Spanish handballer for Rostov-Don and the Spanish national team.

Cabral was born in Lisbon, Portugal, as ninth of 11 siblings. She took up handball in Portugal, but in April 2010 was suspended for two weeks after refusing to attend a training camp. After that she moved to Spain and received Spanish citizenship in June 2012. Whenever possible she wears number 86 during the game because it is the year of her birth.

Barbosa was amongst the top 10 scorers of EHF Women's Champions League in the 2005–06 season playing for CBM Astroc Sagunto, with 46 goals in the old format of the competition.

Playing for SD Itxako, she was the fifth best goal scorer of EHF Champions League in the 2010–11 season and fourth in 2011–12.

In April 2012, she signed for Romanian top club CS Oltchim Râmnicu Vâlcea.

In 2012, after playing for many years in Spain, she obtained Spanish citizenship and decided to represent Spain on the international level.
