Alexander Monroe Dockery (February 11, 1845 – December 26, 1926) was an American physician and politician who served as the 30th governor of Missouri from 1901 to 1905. A Democrat, he was a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the 3rd district from 1883 to 1899.
According to one observer, Dockery generally disdained "the progressive-reform impulses that were in ascendancy at the dawn of the new century."
