Dr. Alexander Tollmann (born June 27, 1928) is an Austrian professor of geology.

He was born in Vienna. He has been professor at the Geologischen Institut of the University of Vienna since 1969. He is a political activist working to free Austria from nuclear energy and a founder of the Austrian Green Party (Vereinten Grünen Österreichs or VGÖ).

With his wife Edith, he wrote Das Weltenjahr geht zur Neige: Mythos und Wahrheit der Prophezeiungen. The book was on the Austrian bestseller list for weeks.

In 1992 the husband-and-wife team published a monograph which claimed that Noah's Flood was the consequence of a bolide impact about 9500 years ago, and supported the claim through geology (impact craters, iridium, shatter cones, stress lamination of minerals, radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, a peak of acid in the Greenland ice) and legends and folk traditions. See Tollmann's hypothetical bolide.

In December 2003, Tollmann published Und die Wahrheit siegt schließlich doch.
