Alexandrovsky Uyezd (Russian: Александровский уезд) was an administrative division (an uyezd) of Arkhangelsk Governorate of the Russian Empire and later of the Russian SFSR.

The origins of Alexandrovsky Uyezd trace back to Kolsky Uyezd, which existed on this territory since the early 16th century until December 13 [O.S. December 2], 1858, when Tsar Alexander II approved a State Council opinion "On Changing the Governance in the Town of Kola and in Kolsky Uyezd" that Kolsky Uyezd be abolished and its territory merged into Kemsky Uyezd.

Kolsky Uyezd was restored on February 19 [O.S. February 8], 1883 when Tsar Alexander III approved a new opinion of the State Council, although the territory of the restored uyezd was smaller than its pre-1858 territory—it included only the 4th and the 5th stans of Kemsky Uyezd. The town of Kola once again became the administrative center of the uyezd.

On June 20 [O.S. June 7], 1899, the village of Alexandrovsk was granted the status of an uyezd town, for which reason the uyezd was renamed Alexandrovsky.

On January 14 [O.S. January 1], 1912, new Teriberskaya Volost was created from a part of Kolsko-Loparskaya Volost.
