Aleksandr Anatolyevich Kerzhakov, born 27 November 1982 in Kingisepp) is a Russian international association football striker currently playing for Russian Premier League club Zenit St. Petersburg and the Russia national football team.

He is the most prolific goalscorer in the history of Russian football, with the number of goals scored in competitive games standing at 209 as of 15 October 2013.

He is described as a forward who likes to "drop deep to link with the midfield, expecting players to break beyond him" for whom he creates space.

A full international since 2002, Kerzhakov has earned over 80 caps for Russia and played at two World Cups and two European Championships. In 2014, he scored his 26th goal for Russia, equaling the record held by Vladimir Beschastnykh.
