Alexander McKenzie Moir (born 17 July 1919 in Otago, died 17 June 2000 in Otago) played 17 Tests for New Zealand in the 1950's.
He is one of only two bowlers to have bowled consecutive overs in a Test innings; this occurred on 28 March 1951, the fourth day of the Wellington Test, on either side of the tea interval. The other recorded instance of this violation of the Laws of cricket in a Test match was in 1921, the bowler being Warwick Armstrong.
In 1953-54 Moir took 15 for 203 for Otago against Central Districts at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth.
