Alexander Domínguez Carabalí (born June 5, 1987) is an Ecuadorian football goalkeeper who plays for Monterrey in the Liga MX.
Domínguez played for LDU Quito from 2006 to 2016, taking over the starting spot from José Francisco Cevallos. He won two Ecuadorian Serie A titles, the 2008 Copa Libertadores, and the 2009 Copa Sudamericana.
Domínguez is one of the top 300 goalkeepers in the world, the third highest ranked Ecuadorian, and the highest ranked active Ecuadorian in terms of time spent without conceding a goal. From 2 September 2007 to 28 October 2007, he went 719 minutes without conceding a goal. He is nicknamed "Dida", after the Brazilian keeper of the same name.
On June 22, 2016 it was confirmed that Domínguez would be joining Monterrey.
Domínguez is a former Ecuadorian youth international, who represented the country at the 2007 South American U-20 Championship.
Domínguez received his first call-ups for the senior Ecuador national football team in May 2010 for friendlies against Mexico and South Korea. However, he remained an unused substitute. Because of club-related commitments, he would not receive another call-up until February 2011 for a friendly against Honduras. Again, he was an unused substitute. Manager Reinaldo Rueda finally gave Domínguez his first cap on 26 March 2011 in a 2–0 friendly defeat to Colombia. At the 2011 Copa América, he served as back-up to Marcelo Elizaga.
