Aleksandr Babchenko (Russian: ????????? ????????; born December 9, 1971 in Bishkek) is a Kyrgyzstani sport shooter.
He has been selected to compete for Kyrgyzstan in rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has achieved numerous top ten finishes in a major international competition, spanning the Asian Games, and the Asian Championships.
Babchenko trains under his longtime coach Sergey Nikishov for the national team, while serving in the army.Babchenko qualified as a lone shooter for the Kyrgyz squad in rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
He had been granted an Olympic invitation for his country in the 10 m air rifle by ISSF and IOC, having registered a minimum qualifying score of 593 from his outside-final finish at the Worlds two years earlier.
Babchenko started off with his signature event, the 10 m air rifle, where he shot an ill-fated 588 out of a possible 600 to finish in a two-way tie with Sweden's Marcus Åkerholm for thirty-third position.
Four days later, Babchenko came up with a much substantial aim to get 591 in the qualifying round of the 50 m rifle prone, vaulting him up to twenty-fourth from his dismal air rifle feat.
In his third and last event, the 50 m rifle 3 positions, Babchenko rounded out the 40-shooter field to last place with a qualifying score of 1130 points (393 in prone, 364 in standing, and 373 in the kneeling).
