Alexander Campbell (May 22, 1826 – September 2, 1909[1]) was a Scottish-born notary public[2] and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada. He represented Inverness County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1867 to 1871 and from 1878 to 1886 as a Liberal-Conservative member.
He was born on the Isle of Skye, the son of Archibald Campbell and Margaret MacLean,[1] and came to Cape Breton in 1830. In 1853, Campbell married Mary McLean. He married Ella G. Grant after the death of his first wife. Campbell was also a magistrate for Inverness County and was a senior major in the militia. He was elected in 1867 on an anti-Confederation platform.[2] Campbell died at Strathlorne at the age of 83.[1]
His former home has been designed a provincial heritage property.[3]
