Alexander Ross (3 January 1895 – 12 December 1972) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and civil servant.
Ross was born at Arbroath. He represented the Civil Service cricket team as the team's wicket-keeper in its only appearance in first-class cricket against the touring New Zealanders at Chiswick in 1927.[1] Batting twice during the match, he ended the Civil Service first-innings unbeaten without scoring, while in their second-innings was dismissed for a single run by Roger Blunt, with the fall of his wicket giving the New Zealanders victory by an innings and 15 runs.[2]
He died at Gosport in Southern England in December 1972.
