Alexander Hurley (24 March 1871 – 6 December 1913) was an English music hall singer, and Marie Lloyd's second husband.
Born in London, Hurley began a boxing career, during which he would perform a song entitled "The Strongest Man on Earth" after his fights. He started performing in London music halls, and became known to his audiences as a "coster" singer, similar to Gus Elen and Albert Chevalier. Hurley supported many popular acts, including Marie Lloyd, whom he married in 1906. Hurley supported Lloyd in all of her performances until the marriage broke up and he stopped performing.
