Alexander I (Greek: Aléxandros), dubbed Alexander the Diplomat (Greek: Aléxandros Diplomatikós), was the Prince of Theodoro from 1471 to 1484. Noted for his skill in managing alliances, he was able to repel an Ottoman attack led Gedik Ahmed Pasha by forming an alliance with Genoa, and then to make peace with the Ottomans and ally with them to expel Genoa from Crimea. He later agreed to make Theodoro a nominal (highly autonomous) tributary state of the Ottoman Empire. He died in 1484, and was succeeded by his son, Alexander II.
