Alice Olive Zakharov was an Australian politician. Zakharov was elected as an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian Senate in 1983.
Former Senator Graham Richardson, a leader of the party's right faction, once stated that Zakharov "[worked] hard on social issues in the chamber, but [hid] her light under a bushel far too successfully". She was re-elected in 1984, 1987, and 1993, and was in the midst of her final term in the Senate when she was killed in an automobile accident in early 1995.
