Alice Schlesinger (Hebrew: אליס שלזינגר; born May 26, 1988) is an Israeli-British elite level judoka and sambo competitor. Born in Israel, she competed for that country until 2014, but following a dispute with the national federation she now competes for Great Britain, for whom she qualifies as she has citizenship through her English-born mother.
Judo World Championship bronze medalist (2009), bronze medalist of Judo European Championships (2008, 2009, 2012), world champion in Sambo (2013), world champion in Kurash (2013).
Schlesinger was born and raised in Herzliya, Israel. Her brother introduced her to the sport as a child and her parents took her to competitions on weekends. She is trained by her Israeli boyfriend/coach, Pavel Musin.
Schlesinger has won two Israel national championships (including in 2004, at U57). She also won Continental gold medals in the U17, U20, and U23 competitions.

In September 2006, she won a silver medal at the European U20 Judo Championships, at U63, in Tallinn, Estonia. Despite the medal, she said: "I had a mediocre tournament. I made mistakes in the final. I plan to go over those mistakes with my coach and correct what needs to be corrected".
In October 2007, she won the European U20 Judo Championship, at U63, in Prague, Czech Republic.
She competed at the age of 20 on behalf of Israel at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, as a half-middleweight at U63, and placed 13th, losing to French silver medalist Lucie Décosse.
