Alexander of San Elpidio (1269–1326) was an Italian Augustinian. He was known as prior general of the order of Hermits of St. Augustine, as a writer on theology and political matters, and as bishop of Melfi.

He was a follower of Giles of Rome, regarded as an extreme papalist. In 1324 he condemned Nicholas of Fabriano for his support of Louis of Bavaria, the opponent of Pope John XXII.

He wrote a commentary on De Civitate Dei.
