Alexander, was built in France in 1791, possibly under a different name. She was taken as a prize and her new owners renamed her Alexander. She made one voyage for the British East India Company (EIC), and then became a slave ship, making four voyages between 1798 and 1807 in the triangular trade in enslaved people. After 1807 she sailed between Liverpool and Demerara. She is last listed in 1811.
