Oleksii Kyrylovych Alchevskyi (Ukrainian: Олексій Кирилович Алчевський, romanized: Oleksii Kyrylovych Alchevskyi; Russian: Алексей Кириллович Алчевский; 1835, Sumy, Sloboda Ukraine, Russian Empire – 1901, St. Petersburg, Russian Empire) was a Ukrainian philanthropist and industrialist. He established the first financial group in Imperial Russia and created several banks and industrial societies in Sloboda Ukraine. His role in the development of Russian industry was so important that in 1903 the Iur'evka station of the Ekaterinoslav Railway was renamed to Alchevsk in his honor, later developing into a buoyant town.
