Alexander Barbour (born 7 June 1862 in Dumbarton; died 29 December 1930) was a Scottish footballer who played for Renton, Bolton Wanderers, Glossop North End, Nottingham Forest and the Scoland national team.

He was signed by Bolton Wanderers in May 1888 and scored 17 goals in 34 matches in three years for the club. He had a season with Glossop North End in season 1891-92 and was then signed by Nottingham Forest as a coach, although he made one final league appearance for them in 1893.
