Alexandra Jurjewna Korelowa ( Russian Алекса́ндра Ю́рьевна Коре́лова ; born August 1, 1977 in Gorki ) is a Russian dressage rider .

Alexandra Korelova graduated from the Nizhny Novgorod State University in economics and is married. She has been looked after by the German Olympic champion Monica Theodorescu in Germany since 2000 and trained by her father George Thedorescu. With the former police horse Balagur , a gray from the Russian Orlov trotter breed, which was discovered by former world champion Jelena Petuschkowa ( Russian Елена Петушкова ), she established herself in the top of the world in 2008. For the Olympic Games in Athens she had to fight for the right to start before the International Court of Justice in Lausanne (CAS) after the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) wanted to refuse her the start because she had not met the qualification standard.

She achieved her greatest success so far at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where she took sixth place in the individual dressage.
