Alexis Demirdjian is a Canadian attorney. He has worked at the ICC since 2015 and previously worked as a trial attorney at the ICTY's Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) in the Hague. He graduated from the Université de Montréal with a Masters in International Law.

Demirdjian published a 2005 paper with Rodney Dixon, a member of Association of Defence Counsel of the ICTY, about plea-bargaining at the ICTY, where they noted that defense attorneys advising clients must be extremely resourceful in exploring all possible grounds for mitigation given the broad discretionary powers of the Trial Chambers. They noted that sentence reductions were unlikely due to the serious nature of the crimes brought before the Trial Chambers, adding that in most cases, the Trial Chambers would follow the recommendations of the OTP. They identified several key "mitigating circumstances" including the resources of the tribunal, protecting the interests of the victims and a genuine admission of guilt.

He edited an interdisciplinary volume called The Armenian Genocide Legacy for the centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
