Aleksandr Nikolaevich Yefimov (Russian: Александр Николаевич Ефимов; 6 February 1923 – 31 August 2012) was a senior military officer who served as Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Air Force from 1984 to 1990.

Yefimov was born on 6 February 1923 to a working-class family of Russian Don Cossacks in Kantemirovka; his father was a railway worker.

His actions during an attack on Danzig airfield on 25 March 1945 were described by Marshal Fedor Falaleyev in a book of essays praising pilots published by a military academy after the war.

Two days later he completed his two-hundredth sortie; in that flight he led a group of eight Il-2s in taking out three tanks, four anti-tank guns, two mortars, and killing dozens of enemy personnel.

At that time the Soviet Union was involved in the fighting against Islamist guerrillas, so during his tenure he supported the development of the Su-25 as a solution to the different nature of the war.

While retired he remained socially active, participating in a variety of veterans organizations and serving in the civil chamber of Russia from 2006 to 2010.
