Aleksandras Olelka (Ukrainian: Олександр Олелько Володимирович; Early 15th century – 1454) was the Duke of Kapyl–Slutsk and subsequently from 1443 was the Prince of Kiev until his death in 1454.
Olelka was a patrilineal member of the Lithuanian ruling dynasty the Gediminids and founded its Olelkovich branch. Nevertheless, he was an Eastern Orthodox Christian, unlike the Grand Dukes of Lithuania who since the Christianization of Lithuania were Catholics.
