Alexander Vasilyevich Kanishchev (Russian: Александр Васильевич Канищев; born 8 May 1960 in Leningrad) is a former Soviet footballer who played with Daugava Rīga and Zenit Leningrad.
Alexander Kanishchev began his professional career in the second team of Zenit, Leningrad, when he was 16 years old, not having an opportunity at the time to earn a place in the first team, as most of the young players of that time he went to play in the second soviet league, in the team Karshistroi, Qarshi, Uzbekistan. There he played from 1978 to 1980 with fellow Leningrad players and friends Sergey Vedeneev and Aleksei Stepanov.
In 1980 he became the player of the Leningrad team "Dynamo". There he played almost two years.
In 1982 happened one of the most influential events in his football career. Jānis Skredelis invited him to Daugava Rīga in which Alexander Kanishchev became famous as one of the most technically skilled attacking midfielder in the 1st Soviet league. With Genadi Shitik and Yuri Popkov he formed one of the strongest midfield lines in the 1st Soviet league, and playing together with strikers like Evgenii Milevskii and Aleksandr Starkov in 1985 with Daugava won the first league title. In 1986 Kanishchev was invited by Pavel Sadyrin to come back to Leningrad, USSR, to become the player of Zenit Leningrad. He played in Zenit for two (1986–1987) seasons.
