Alexandru Borza (1887, Alba Iulia - 3 September 1971, Cluj) was a Romanian botanist, Greek-Catholic monk and honorary "protopop" of Cluj.

As part of a group of a group of professors, physicians, soldiers, etc., he helped bring Scouting to Romania.

In 1923, he founded the Cluj Botanical Garden, which now bears his name. The Retezat National Park, the first nature park of Romania, was founded in 1935 at his initiative.
