Alexander E. Martin (October 9, 1867 – 1943)[1] was an American businessman and Republican politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He represented Milwaukee's south side in the Wisconsin Senate during the 1913 and 1915 sessions.
Martin was born in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, but at the age of one was moved with his family to Milwaukee, where he studied at the local public schools and took a course in railroad telegraphy. Having worked in that trade for some years, in 1895 he went into the grocery business. In 1905, he was one of the incorporators of the Central Foundry company, and in 1910 of Hoyer Metallic Packing; by 1913 he was secretary of both corporations.
