Alexander Keiller FSA, FGS (1 December 1889 – 29 October 1955) was a Scottish archaeologist, pioneering aerial photographer, businessman and philanthropist. He worked on an extensive prehistoric site at Avebury in Wiltshire, England, and helped ensure its preservation. At Avebury, Keiller founded the Morven Institute of Archeological Research, now the Alexander Keiller Museum.

His fourth wife, Gabrielle Keiller, was also an archaeological photographer, whom he met in connection with Avebury.
