Henry Robert Tayler Alexander (26 October 1841 – 11 February 1920) was an English first-class cricketer. Alexander's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He was born at Brighton, Sussex.

Alexander was educated at Harrow School where he captained the school cricket team in 1861.[1] Later that year he began his university studies at Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] Two years later he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Fenner's.[3] In a match which the MCC won by an innings and 6 runs, Alexander ended Cambridge University's first-innings not out without scoring, while in the MCC first-innings he took the wicket of Charles Lyttelton to finish with figures of 1/14 from five overs. He was last man out in Cambridge University's second-innings, scoring 3 runs before he was dismissed by George Wootton.[4]

He later became a solicitor.[2] He died at Westminster, London on 11 February 1920.
