Alexander Hamilton Bailey (August 14, 1817 – April 20, 1874) was a United States Representative and judge from New York.

Bailey was born in Minisink, Orange County, New York on August 14, 1817. He graduated from Princeton College in 1837, where he studied law. Bailey was admitted to the bar and commenced practice of law. He served as examiner in chancery of Greene County, New York (1840–1842); justice of the peace of the town of Catskill for four years; member of the State assembly in 1849; and judge of Greene County (1851–1855).

Bailey moved to Rome, New York in 1856 and continued his law practice. He served in the State senate (1861–1864), then was elected as a Republican to the Fortieth Congress to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Roscoe Conkling. He was reelected to the Forty-first Congress (1867–1871), and was the chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of State. Bailey did not stand for reelection in 1870, but was elected judge of the Oneida County Court in 1871. He remained in the position until his death in Rome, New York on April 20, 1874. Bailey is interred in Rome Cemetery.
