Alexander Exarch (Bulgarian: Александър Екзарх, 1810 – 27 September 1891) was a Bulgarian revivalist, publicist and journalist, active participant in the struggle for an independent Bulgarian Exarchate.

It comes from a wealthy family. He studied in Bucharest, Budapest, Munich. From 1836 he was in Paris, where he first studied mathematics, and later, with Ottoman state scholarship - medicine (1839 - 1841).

In 1841, he accompanied as a translator Jérôme-Adolphe Blanqui, sent by the French government to investigate the consequences of the Niš rebellion (1841). Blanqui reflects it in his diary as Bulgarian, pointing to Ni�� as the capital of Bulgaria. He strongly opposes the insinuation of Ioannis Kolettis (at that time the Greek ambassador to Paris) that the uprising was Greek. In 1842 - 1846, he sent several memoirs (memos) to the Western European governments to improve the situation of the Bulgarians.^[1]

With financial assistance from Russia, he published in Constantinople the Bulgarian „Constantinople newspaper” (1848 - 1862), whose editor-in-chief was between 1850 and 1860.

After the Liberation of Bulgaria he was twice a candidate for Head of State (Prince) of Bulgaria (1879, 1886).^[2]
