Aleksandrovsk Uprising was an armed insurgency of workers of the Aleksandrovsk city on 25 December (12 December) 1917. The uprising was headed by Bolsheviks against the Central Council of Ukraine.

In the revolt Black Sea sailors (Black Sea Revolutionary formation) participated. They were led by Aleksei Mokrousov. The rebels took a telephone station, a power station, and a part of the city. However, after three days of fighting the insurgency was suppressed.
