Alexander Shakarov (born 8 March 1948 in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, USSR) is a Soviet chess player, coach and author of Armenian descent.[1]

He is best known for being Garry Kasparov's coach from 1976 to 2005.[2][3] Together they wrote Caro-Kann: Classical 4…Bf5 book (1984). Kasparov said: "The name of Alexander Shakarov might not be world famous, but hardly anyone has lived a life more dedicated to chess. He is one of the most dedicated workers I've ever met."[3]

Shakarov was also the trainer of Ashot Nadanian.[3]

The fourth chapter of Tibor Karolyi's 2009 book Genius in the Background is devoted to him.
