Alexander Doyle (1857 - 1922) was a United States sculptor.

Doyle was born in Steubenville, Ohio, and spent his youth in Louisville, Kentucky and St. Louis, Missouri before going to Italy to study sculpture in Carrera, Rome, and Florence.

After returning to the United States he settled in New York City, and became one of the nation's prominent sculptors of the era. There are three statues by Doyle in National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C..
