Alexander (died circa 1220), said to have been known by the surname of le Pargiter (the Plasterer), was an English ecclesiastic of the thirteenth century. He was first a Benedictine monk of the monastery of St. Augustine, at Canterbury, of which house he was made abbot in 1213. He was distinguished by his steady adherence to King John, in opposition to the Pope, for which reason he was excommunicated by Pandulph, the legate, and deprived of his clerical station.
