Alexander Aleksandrovic Dragunov (Александр Александрович Драгунов; 1900–1955) was a Soviet philologist and Sinologist.

He is particularly known for his contributions to phonetic reconstruction of the Old Mandarin language of the 12th to 14th centuries and his study of Chinese dialectology.[1][2] Dragunov was also an early proponent of the 23rd letter of the Tibetan alphabet as representing a voiced fricative in all positions.
