Alexander Gennadyevich Kuznetsov (Russian: Александр Геннадьевич Кузнецов, born November 1, 1973) is a Russian mathematician working at the Steklov Mathematical Institute^[1] and the Interdisciplinary Scientific Center J.-V. Poncelet, Moscow,^[2] and head of the Laboratory of Algebraic Geometry and its Applications of the Higher School of Economics.^[3] He graduated from Moscow State School 57 in 1990.^[4] He received a Ph.D. in 1998 under the supervision of Alexei Bondal [de].^[5] Kuznetsov is known for his research in algebraic geometry, mostly concerning derived categories of coherent sheaves and their semiorthogonal decompositions.

Kuznetsov received an August Möbius fellowship in 1997.^[6] He was awarded a European Mathematical Society prize in 2008.^[7] He was an invited speaker at the International Mathematical Congress in Seoul (2014).^[8] Kuznetsov is a Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), corresponding member of the RAS (elected in 2016).^[9]
