Alexander Frick (/hrˈɪk/, German pronunciation: [ˌalɛˈksandɐ frˈɪk]; 18 February 1910 – 31 October 1991) was a political figure from Liechtenstein who served as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein from 1945 to 1962.

Frick is known for expanding Liechtenstein's foreign affairs and modernizing the country into a modern welfare state, while also serving over a period of economic boom in the country.[1] Serving as prime minister for nearly seventeen years, he is the second longest individual to hold the position in Liechtenstein's history, bested by his predecessor Josef Hoop by 79 days.
