Alexander Vindman and his twin brother Yevgeny were born to a Jewish family in the Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. After the death of their mother, the three-year-old twins and their older brother Leonid were brought to New York in December 1979 by their father, Semyon (Simon).

They grew up in Brooklyn's "Little Odessa" neighborhood. A photograph of the twins with their maternal grandmother briefly appears in the Ken Burns documentary The Statue of Liberty. Vindman speaks fluent Russian and Ukrainian.
