Alejandro Aurelio Nieva Lichauco (October 20, 1927 – May 22, 2015), also known as Ka Ding, was a Filipino economist, and activist who first promoted economic nationalism. He pushed for freedom against the American Parity Rights Amendment. He joined the 1971 Constitutional Commission as a commissioner but later opposed president Ferdinand Marcos and the dictatorship during martial law.
In addition to his work in economic nationalism, he was from a well-known Filipino political family, the Lichaucos.
