Alexander Monro III of Craiglockhart, FRSE FRCPE FSA (Scot) MWS (5 November 1773 – 10 March 1859), was a Scottish anatomist and medical educator at the University of Edinburgh Medical School.

His students included Charles Darwin who asserted that Monro "made his lectures on human anatomy as dull as he was himself."
