Alexanda Amon Kotey (born 13 December 1983), known as Jihadi George, is a stateless former British citizen, drug dealer, and member of the Beatles cell serving life in prison at the ADX Florence supermax prison in Colorado for providing material support to the Islamic State and hostage taking resulting in death. Kotey has denied being a member of the "Beatles" but has admitted to serving in the Islamic State in Syria. He is serving eight concurrent life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Active in the Islamic State until 2015, Kotey was captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces attempting to enter Turkey while fleeing from the collapse of the Islamic State in Syria. He has been designated a terrorist by the United States and identified in the media as one of the four "Jihadi Beatles" who took part in atrocities in the Syrian Civil War.
