Alexander Colin David Ingleby-Mackenzie OBE (15 September 1933 – 9 March 2006) was an English cricketer, cricket administrator, and businessman. Ingleby-Mackenzie played first-class cricket for Hampshire between 1951 and 1966, serving as Hampshire's last amateur captain. Through bold captaincy, he led Hampshire to their first County Championship title in 1961. An attacking batsman, he scored over 12,000 runs in first-class cricket. Following the end of his playing career, which was followed by a period working in the insurance industry, Ingleby-Mackenzie assumed the presidency of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) between 1996 and 1998. Under his tenure, the MCC underwent an important social reform when its members voted to allow for the admission of female members. He would later serve as president of Hampshire between 2002 and his death, in March 2006.
