Aleksi Ojala (born 9 December 1992 in Urjala) is a Finnish racewalker who competes mostly at the 50 kilometres race walk. Ojala's club is Urjalan Urheilijat.

After some initial disappointing world championship results, Ojala achieved two top-20 World Athletics Championships finishes. At the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, he did not finish the 50 kilometres.[1] However two years later, he finished 14th at the 2017 World Championship 50 km walk.[2]

In 2018, he competed in the men's 50 kilometres walk at the 2018 European Athletics Championships held in Berlin, Germany, but he failed to finish again.[3] He rebounded in the new 35 km walk at the 2022 World Championships, where he finished 13th and was the best racewalker from his country.[4]

In July 2024, Ojala retired from the sport.[5]
