Aleksander Kreek (21 July 1914 – 19 August 1977) was an Estonian track and field athlete who specialised in the shot put.

[2] Kreek threw an Estonian record mark of 16.16 m (53 ft 0 in) in Karlstad in 1938 – this made him the second-best athlete in that world that year (his highest ever ranking).

Despite this early success, Kreek and Viiding remain the only Estonians to have won the European shot put title.

Kreek gave a strong performance, reaching 16.26 m (53 ft 4 in), but was outdone by Germany's Gerhard Stöck,[1] who was the reigning Olympic javelin throw champion.

[2] Kreek made his final international appearances for Estonia in 1940 and also matched his Estonian record with another throw of 16.40 m (53 ft 9+1⁄2 in) (placing him fourth among shot putters for the season).
