Alex Ferns (born 1969) is a Scottish actor, best known for his EastEnders role as Trevor Morgan, "Britain's most-hated soap villain."

Born in Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire, he lived in South Africa for 17 years and studied drama at the University of Cape Town. He made an appearance in The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) before various TV roles, including EastEnders from 2000 to 2002. He cites a scene where, as Morgan, he had to push Little Mo's face into a Christmas dinner as his most stressful filming experience.

In 2004 he played Commander Martin Brooke, the lead role, in the short-lived ITV series Making Waves.

His theatrical work includes the role of the "tapeworm" (a hallucination) in I.D., a play about Dimitri Tsafendas and his assassination of South African Prime Minster Hendrik Verwoerd.
