'''Md. Sikandar Alam''' ([[Odia language|Odia]]: ସିକନ୍ଦର ଆଲାମ) (27 July 1939 – 8 August 2010) was a playback singer in [[Odisha]] film industry (known as [[Ollywood]]). He is sometimes called the [[Salabega]] of modern Odisha.

In an interview with Monalisa Jena, he said, "I can't appreciate the changing trends where music has become an instrument of titillation with vulgar lyrics. True music soothes the frayed nerves and makes one forget one's mundane life".
