Alasdair mac Mhaighstir Alasdair (lit. Alexander, Son of the Reverend Alexander) (c. 1698–1770) was a Scottish poet, lexicographer, political writer and memoirist, respected as perhaps the finest Gaelic language poet of the 18th century. He served as a Jacobite military officer and Gaelic tutor to Prince Charles Edward Stuart.
He is also known in English as Alexander MacDonald and as "The Clanranald Bard" or "The Great Bard" ("Am Bàrd Ainmeil").
