Edward McMillan Little (4 November 1864 – 1 July 1945) was a Scottish-born South African international rugby union player. Born in Midlothian, he first played provincial rugby for Griqualand West (now known as the Griquas), before joining Western Province.

He made his only two Test appearances for South Africa during Great Britain's 1891 tour. Alexander was selected to play as a forward in the 1st and 3rd matches of the series, both of which South Africa lost. Little died in 1945 at the age of 80.[1]
