Alexandru Iulian Maxim (Romanian pronunciation: [alekˈsandru makˈsim]; born 8 July 1990) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Süper Lig club Gaziantep and the Romania national football team.
Maxim recorded his professional debut for the reserve team of Espanyol in 2009, and also had a loan spell at Badalona before returning to Romania with Pandurii Târgu Jiu in 2011. His display prompted a move to Germany at the start of 2013, where he amassed Bundesliga totals of 140 games and 14 goals representing VfB Stuttgart and Mainz 05. After seven years in the latter country, Maxim joined Turkish side Gaziantep in 2020, initially on loan.
At international level, Maxim made his debut for the Romania senior team in a 1–0 friendly win over Switzerland in May 2012, and has since been capped over 50 times.
