William Alexander (born 6 October 1905) was an English international rugby union player.
A Newcastle native, Alexander played his rugby for hometown club Northern, initially as a centre or stand-off.[1]
Alexander was experimented with on the wing in matches with Northumberland in 1926–27. He gained his solitary England cap as a left winger against France in Paris during the 1927 Five Nations and had a quiet game in a 0–3 loss.[2][3]
