Nowa Aleksandria is the only studio album by Polish band Siekiera. It was released in 1986, through the record label Tonpress. The album marks a departure from the band's punk rock sound in favour of the coldwave and darkwave genres. Although formerly unpopular within the Polish punk rock music scene, the album has later established a cult following within the Polish new wave scene and is now considered a household name within the cold wave genre in Poland.
