Scott Alexander (born 1970) is an American politician from Kentucky currently serving as Judge/Executive of Perry County. Alexander was elected Judge/Executive in 2014, defeating incumbent Denny Ray Noble in the May primary election.
He was previously a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1997 to 2001 and briefly in 2008. He was first elected to the house in 1996, but was defeated for reelection in 2000 by Republican Brandon Smith. He was again elected to the house in a March 2008 special election when Smith was elected to the Kentucky Senate. Alexander faced criticism when he left the state soon after being sworn in, in order to chaperone his daughter's school field trip to Costa Rica.
