(it) 亞歷山大·列斯利（英語：Alexander Leslie，1731年－1794年12月27日），美國獨立戰爭時期的英國軍官。列斯利生於1731年，父親是，家族與北美殖民地關係密切。當到蘇格蘭愛丁堡學醫時，利文伯爵將他接到家中居住，而魯殊更與列斯利的侄子威廉·列斯利（William Leslie）結為至交。魯殊後來是美國獨立宣言的簽署人之一。列斯利在1753年從軍，後來成為的中校，並派駐北美波士頓殖民地。北美火藥危機後，列斯利曾經帶軍到沙崙緝查火炮走私，但無功而還。後來美國獨立戰爭因列星頓和康科德戰役而爆發，列斯利的部隊於波士頓之圍期間留守城內。 1776年，列斯利獲提拔為准將，並先後參與了長島會戰、基普灣登陸戰及白原戰役。英軍進入新澤西州後，列斯利被派往駐守普林斯頓。當時駐守特倫頓的約翰·拉爾飽受新澤西州起義壓力，列斯利是惟一一個英國將軍有派兵前往增援。不過列斯利的援軍仍於事無補，而拉爾也在12月26日的特倫頓戰役兵敗身亡。後來查爾斯·康沃利斯到特倫頓追擊喬治·華盛頓時，列斯利在後方的駐守。不料華盛頓乘夜繞道，突襲梅登黑後方的普林斯頓。列斯利雖趕忙通知康沃利斯回軍，而自己也領兵趕往救援，但華盛頓在兩人抵達時已開始撤退。諷刺的是，威廉·列斯利在普林斯頓戰役中陣亡，而魯殊正在大陸軍擔任戰地醫生。兩人的悲劇成為畫家的繪畫題材。 (zh)
