Gregory Peter Stephen Alexander (born 4 March 1965), also known by the nickname "Brandy",[a] is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s, who has since become a radio, television commentator and rugby league journalist.

During his playing career, Alexander played primarily as a goal-kicking halfback for the Penrith Panthers and the Auckland Warriors. He also played as a fullback, particularly in representative matches for New South Wales and Australia. Alexander was the captain of Penrith's 1991 NSWRL Grand Final winning team.

In June 1992, Alexander's younger brother Ben, his teammate at Penrith, died in a car crash that was alcohol-related. As a result, Alexander moved to Auckland in 1995 for two seasons before returning to Penrith.

As of 2024, Alexander is a commentator and analyst on Fox League, and a co-host (with Andrew Voss) of the radio show "Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy" on Sports Entertainment Network.
