Oleksandr Tovkai (Ukrainian: Олександр Товкай; born 27 January 1996) is a Ukrainian modern pentathlete. He is expected to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics. He competed at the 2023 European Games where he finished 12th in the final, being the only Ukrainian to reach the final, and thus obtained an Olympic quota for the 2024 Games.[1][2]

Together with Maksym Aharushev, Tovkai won a silver medal in men's relay at the 2024 World Championships in Zhengzhou.[3]

Tovkai studied at the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport.
