Alexandra "Alex" Sobo (born 25 April 1987) is a Romanian female volleyball player, playing the middle blocker position. She is part of the Romania women's national volleyball team. Throughout the last 14 years her stature combined with her long arms (2 metres wingspan) and elevation has made Sobo one the most powerful middle blockers in Europe, with top blocking abilities and precise one-foot attacks. Stats from the 2015 Women's European Volleyball Championship rank her among the top centers of the game.

Sobo first played in the Romanian national league at the age of 15, while her first international appearance was in the 2003/2004 Women's CEV Cup. She has won the Romanian National League two times, as well as winning the Romanian Cup twice. Internationally, Alexandra Sobo has played in most of the European Cups for clubs, including CEV Women's Champions League, Women's CEV Cup, CEV Women's Challenge Cup and BVA Cup. In the 2014/2015 CEV Champions League Sobo was selected for the dream team of Leg 5 as the middle blocker, after defeating Nantes VB 3-1.
