Alex Rose (born 17 November 1991) is a Samoan athlete competing primarily in the discus throw and occasionally in the shot put and hammer throw. He represented his country at two World Championships, in 2013 and 2015, failing to qualify for the final on both occasions.

Although born in the United States, Rose holds dual-citizenship with Samoa since his father was born in that country and emigrated to the US as a 19-year-old.

His personal best in the discus is 61.35 metres (Claremont 2015).
