Alexei Yuryevich "Alex" Zhamnov (Russian: Алексей Юрьевич Жамнов; born October 1, 1970) is a former professional ice hockey centre who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Winnipeg Jets, Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins.

[1] He previously served as general manager of Vityaz Chekhov and Atlant Moscow Oblast and was the head coach of the Russia men's national ice hockey team.

Zhamnov centred the Jets formidable "Olympic line" with teammates Keith Tkachuk and Teemu Selanne, with all three being Olympians for their respective countries.

While he no longer maintained his point per game scoring pace with the Blackhawks, he ironically had offensive success with Roenick's childhood friend Tony Amonte.

On 20 February 2004, Zhamnov was then traded by Chicago to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Jim Vandermeer, Colin Fraser, and a second-round selection in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
