Alexander Murray of Drumdewan (died 1599) was a Scottish soldier.
He was a younger son of William Murray of Tullibardine and Agnes Graham, a daughter of William Graham, 2nd Earl of Montrose and Janet Keith. William Murray was a Master of the Household to James VI of Scotland.[1] His aunt was the influential Annabell Murray, Countess of Mar.
His own lands were at Drumdewan, near Dull, Perth and Kinross.
He took over a command in the Dutch service from his brother William Murray of Pitcairlie in 1588.[2]
His nieces, Anne Murray and Lilias Murray were ladies in waiting to Anne of Denmark, the wife of James VI. On 15/25 September 1594, Anne of Denmark met two Dutch ambassadors, Walraven III van Brederode and Jacob Valck, and recommended the services of Alexander Murray to them.[3]
He commanded a regiment for Prince Maurice at the Battle of Turnhout (1597). He was killed at the siege of Bommel on 19 May 1599.[4]
