Alejandro "Alex" Rodríguez Olmedo (born March 24, 1936 in Arequipa) is a former tennis player from Peru with American citizenship, who was ranked as the top amateur player in the world in 1959.

George Toley recruited him to play for the University of Southern California (USC), as he wrote in his book "The Golden Age of College Tennis, 2009". Olmedo graduated with a Business Degree from USC.
