Alexis Contin (born 19 October 1986) is a French speed skater. He is ranked 63 on the Adelskalender and is coached by Jan ven Veen.

Contin made his international speedskating debut at the Speed Skating World Cup in December 2005. In January 2007 he competed at an international allround tournament for the first time, finishing 17th at the European Champiohships held at Collalbo.

In January 2008, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that Contin quit skating, saying that he could not bring himself to focus entirely on longtrack skating as the reason. However, Contin made a return to competitive skating in the 2008–09 season.

He competed in the Dutch marathon circuit, until he made his return to the longtrack at the 2009 European Allround Championships at Heerenveen.

He competed at the 2010 Winter Olympics, finishing 4th in the 10000 metres and 6th in the 5000.[1]
