Gustav Alexander (1873 – 12 April 1932) was an Austrian otolaryngologist remembered for describing Alexander's law.[1] He was the director of the Department of Otology of the Wiener Allgemeine Poliklinik from 1917 until his death.[2] He was the father of Leo Alexander.[3]

He was assassinated on the street between his home and the Poliklinik by Johann Sokoup, a Czechoslovakian former patient who had tried to assassinate him 22 years earlier.[4]
