Alexandrovskaya Volost
Alexandrovskaya Volost was an administrative division of Alexandrovsky Uyezd of Arkhangelsk Governorate, and later of Murmansk Governorate of the Russian SFSR, which existed in 1920–1927.
The creation of the volost was proposed on April 22, 1920, when the soviet of the town of Alexandrovsk suggested that several colonies of Teriberskaya Volost should be incorporated into a new volost. The proposal was formally approved by the Murmansky Uyezd Executive Committee on June 1, 1920. The administrative center of the new volost was in Alexandrovsk.

On May 3, 1920, the Alexandrovskaya Volost Executive Committee divided the territory of the volost into six selsoviets :
- Alexandrovsky
- Belokamensky
- Gryazno-Gubsky
- Platonovsky
- Toros-Ostrovsky
- Tyuva-Gubsky
- Belokamensky
- Gryazno-Gubsky
- Menkinsky, also referred to as Minkinsky
- Toros-Ostrovsky, also referred to as Sayda-Gubsky
- Tyuvsky Selsoviet, also referred to as Tyuva-Gubsky
The volost became a part of Murmansk Governorate at the time of its establishment on June 13, 1921. On March 15, 1926, its administrative center the town of Alexandrovsk was demoted in status to that of a rural locality. The volost was abolished on August 1, 1927 along with the rest of the volosts of Murmansk Governorate when the latter was transformed into Murmansk Okrug, redistricted, and transferred to the newly created Leningrad Oblast. The territory of the former Alexandrovskaya Volost was divided: Alexandrovsky, Belokamensky, Gryazno-Gubsky, Toros-Ostrovsky, Tyuva-Gubsky, and Ura-Gubsky Selsoviets became a part of Alexandrovsky District while Minkinsky Selsoviet became a part of Kolsko-Loparsky District.
