Abstract: The main result can be stated roughly as follows: Let $M$ be an Alexandrov space, $\Omega \subset M$ an open domain and $f:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ a harmonic function. Then $f$ is Lipschitz on any compact subset of $\Omega $.

Using this result I extend proofs of some classical theorems in Riemannian geometry to Alexandrov spaces.
