Alexandre Charles Sixte "Alex" Jany[1] (5 January 1929 – 18 July 2001) was a French freestyle swimmer and water polo player. As a swimmer, he competed in 100–400 m events at the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympics, alongside his sister Ginette Jany-Sendral, and he won bronze medals in the 4 × 200 m relay in 1948 and 1952. In 1948 he placed fifth-sixth in the individual 100 m and 400 m events; he won those events at the 1947 and 1950 European championships, setting world records in both in 1947. At the 1960 Olympics he competed only in water polo and placed ninth.[2] In 1977 he was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.[3]

He won the 1946 ASA British 'Open' National Championship 100 metres freestyle title.[4]
