Alexander Colyn (also spelt Colin or Colins), (born 1527/29, Mechelen, Belgium - died 1612, Mechelen), Flemish sculptor.
He is credited with bringing the artistic style of European courts to Germany, where he managed the sculpting of the Ottheinrichsbau (German, Ottheinrich castle or literally construction) in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg. He contributed to the tombs of Ferdinand II, which he designed, and of Maximilian I, where he sculpted a number of marble reliefs.
