Kermit Joseph Alexander (born January 4, 1941 in New Iberia, Louisiana) was an American football defensive back in the NFL. In his career, he played for the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Kermit made a memorable hit on Gale Sayers that tore his ligaments in his knee and ended his season in 1968, which played a role in Brian Piccolo helping Sayers to recover from the injury.

In 1984, Kermit Alexander's mother, Ebora Alexander, his sister, Dietra Alexander, and two of his nephews were brutally murdered within their own South Los Angeles home. The two suspects implicated in the slayings were later caught and identified. (see Tiequon Aundray Cox for more details)

Today, Kermit lives in Southern California with his wife Tami. Together, they coordinate mission trips with their church to Haiti, bringing clothing and supplies to children in run-down orphanages.
