Alex Tudor (born October 23, 1977 in Kensington) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler. He was awarded the NBC Denis Compton Award during the 1997 and 1998 season.

Tudor's Test debut came in the 1998/99 Ashes series in which he played solidly with the bat and further impressed selectors while bowling, winning the praise of his opponents, in particular Australia's captain Mark Taylor.

His further contributions with the bat were the subject of much attention as he batted against New Zealand and hit 99 not out, at the time the third highest score in a Test match by a nightwatchman (it is now the fourth) and the highest-ever score by an Englishman, which aided him towards a Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year award.

Initial omission from the 2002/03 Ashes squad was overruled when he was selected above several injured players. Injuries in 2003 and 2004 followed, but he has recently returned to playing.
