Alex Paterson (also known as Dr Alex Paterson, born Duncan Alexander Robert Paterson on 15 October 1959 near Battersea in London) is an English musician and co-founder of the ambient group The Orb, in which he has worked since its inception.

Paterson's father died when he was eight years old.^[1] He attended Kingham Hill School in Oxfordshire between 1970 and 1979 at the same time as Killing Joke producer "Youth" Martin Glover. Paterson later worked in the 80's as a roadie for Killing Joke, before working in the A&R department of EG Records. In 1990, Paterson's collaborations with his fellow Orb co-founder Jimmy Cauty ended, following Paterson's concerns about The Orb being perceived as a side-project of The KLF. Paterson retained The Orb name. More recently, Cauty and Paterson collaborated again, as Transit Kings. Paterson was also involved in FFWD, a collaboration with Kris Weston, Robert Fripp, and Thomas Fehlmann.

He played chill-out and experimental DJ sets at several Return to the Source parties and in 1999 he released Ambient Meditations 2, on the Return to the Source label.
