Franz Copeland Murray (Gerry) Alexander (born Kingston, Jamaica on 2 November 1928) is a former West Indian cricketer who played 25 Tests for the West Indies. He was a wicket-keeper who had 90 dismissals in his 25 Test appearances and, though his batting average was around 30 in both Test and first class cricket, his only first-class century came on the 1960-61 tour of Australia.
Alexander was the last white man to captain West Indies. He led the West Indian team against Pakistan at home in 1958, on the tour of India and Pakistan in 1958-59 and against England in 1960.
He would not tolerate the indiscipline of Roy Gilchrist on the tour of India and sent him home before the team reached Pakistan.
