Alex Rose (born 17 November 1991) is a Samoan athlete competing primarily in the discus throw and occasionally in the shot put and hammer throw. He represented his country at two World Championships, in 2013 and 2015, failing to qualify for the final on both occasions. He also represented Samoa at the 2016 Olympics. He has had success at the Oceania Athletics Championships, with eight gold medals in three different throwing events.

Although born in the United States, Rose holds dual-citizenship with Samoa since his father was born in that country and emigrated to the US as a 19-year-old. He threw for Central Michigan University.

His personal best in the discus is 65.74 metres (Claremont, California, 15 May 2016).
