Alexander Haldane (15 October 1800 – 19 July 1882) was a Scottish barrister and newspaper proprietor. He is best remembered as the chief proprietor of The Record, the notorious Evangelical newspaper which gave its name to the "Recordite" faction of Evangelicals in the Church of England. The term was brought to general attention by William John Conybeare in the Edinburgh Review for October 1853, who derided it as a dogmatisation and rigidification of Evangelical practices. Haldane's Record returned the compliment the following month, describing Conybeare as "a brummagem Sydney Smith."
