Nemanja Aleksandrov (Serbian Cyrillic: Немања Александров, born April 10, 1987) is a Serbian professional basketball player for Eisbären Bremerhaven of the German Basketball-Bundesliga. He also represented the Serbian national basketball team internationally. He is a 2.10 m (6 ft 11 in) tall power forward, but can play as a small forward.
After winning gold and MVP honors at the 2003 U16 European Championships and receiving "young athlete of the year" distinction in Serbia and Montenegro the same year, Aleksandrov was regarded as a future NBA player. He would have a solid pro career, but would not live up to the huge expectations that were placed upon him.
He started his professional basketball career with FMP Belgrade and stayed there until the summer of 2006. He then transferred to Crvena zvezda where he stayed for three seasons, before leaving in the summer of 2009. He signed with Union Olimpija the summer of 2009.
After just a year in Slovenia he left Union because of unpaid salary, so he signed a one-year contract with option to extend with the Italian team Scavolini Pesaro. He spent the whole 2011–12 season working individually with Nenad Trajkovic.
On August 12, 2012, Aleksandrov signed with the Belgian team Verviers-Pepinster. In March 2013, he left Pepinster and signed with the Spanish club Bàsquet Manresa for the rest of the season.
