Alexander Poliakoff OBE (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ио́сифович Поляко́в; 20 August 1910 – 26 July 1996) was a Russian-born British electronics engineer, inventor and businessman, and the chairman of Multitone Electronics for over 40 years.

Poliakoff was born in 1910 at his parents' country house at Losino-Ostrovskaya, near Moscow, the only son of Joseph Poliakoff, a Russian-Jewish telephone and sound engineer and inventor, and Flora Shabbat, the granddaughter of a textile millionaire.[1] He was of Jewish descent.[2]

In 1937, Poliakoff married Ina Montagu (died 1992), granddaughter of the British-Jewish banker Samuel Montagu, 1st Baron Swaythling.[1] Their elder son is the chemist Sir Martyn Poliakoff, and their younger son is the playwright Stephen Poliakoff.

He was appointed OBE in the 1982 New Year Honours.[1]

His reminiscences were published in The Silver Samovar - Atlantida Press 1996 (ISBN 5-88011-013-3)
