Alex Pullin (born 20 September 1987) is an Australian snowboarder. He competed for Australia at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Snowboard cross. He had the fastest qualifying time (1:20.15) in his event,[2] but was eliminated in the first round of competition, finishing in 17th place by virtue of his qualifying time.[3] Pullin has also competed in the Winter X Games since 2008.
