Alexander Montgomery (26 September 1871 — 29 December 1927) was an Irish international rugby union player.

The son of a Presbyterian minister, Montgomery was a Belfast native and played his rugby in the city for North of Ireland, gaining a solitary Ireland cap in 1895 as a three-quarter against Scotland at Edinburgh. His elder brother Robert was capped five times for Ireland and was also a three-quarter.[1]

Montgomery was a medical practitioner by profession.[2]
