Alexander MacFarlane, FRS (c.– 23 August 1755) was a Scottish merchant, planter and astronomer. Born into an aristocratic family, he graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1728. MacFarlane subsequently emigrated to the British colony of Jamaica, where he started working as a merchant before becoming a prominent landowner and political figure. He was appointed the colony's first Postmaster General in 1735 and elected to the House of Assembly of Jamaica for Saint Elizabeth Parish in 1754. At the time of his death, MacFarlane owned multiple sugar plantations and nearly 800 slaves.
