Aleksandr Sergeyevich Dzasokhov (Russian: Александр Серге́евич Дзасохов) is the former head of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania.

He was born 3 April 1934, in Vladikavkaz, graduated in 1957 from the North Caucasus Mining Metallurgical Institute and holds a doctorate in politics.

Two buses full of victims arrived in Vladikavkaz on that day to see his long-awaited court appearance.

Although many victims consider Dzasokhov among of those guilty for the Beslan school hostage crisis from 1 – 3 September 2004, the situational investigation carried out by the Prosecutor General's Office determined that no officials were to blame for the deaths, so he could testify without fear of legal ramifications for himself.

In 1973 he defended his thesis "The processes of formation of the newly independent states" (a part-time graduate of the Central Committee Academy of Social Sciences).
