Alexandros Thrasyvoulou Zaimis (Αλέξανδρος Θρασυβούλου Ζαΐμης) (9 November 1855 – 15 September 1936) was a Greek politician. The son of Thrasyvoulos Zaimis, a former Prime Minister of Greece, he entered politics at a young age, becoming a Member of Parliament in 1885, and a Prime Minister for the first time in 1897. In 1906, he was appointed as Armostis (High Commissioner) of Crete. In 1917, Zaimis again served as Prime Minister of Greece under King Constantine I, while Eleftherios Venizelos led a rival government controlling northern Greece. Under Entente pressure, he resigned in favor of Venizelos in June of the same year. A moderate conservative, he served again as Prime Minister from 1926 to 1928 in a coalition government of Venizelist and moderate conservatives.
Zaimis was elected President of the Republic in 1929 and remained in this post until the restoration of monarchy in 1935. He died in 1936 in Vienna, Austria
