Alexander Henderson, 1st Baron Faringdon CH (28 September 1850-17 March 1934), known as Sír Alexander Henderson, 1st Baronet, from 1902 to 1916, was a British Liberal Unionist Member of Parliament.
Faringdon was the son of George Henderson of Langholm, Dumfriesshire. He was elected to the House of Commons for West Staffordshire in 1898, a seat he held until 1906, and then represented St George's Hanover Square from 1913 to 1916. He was created a Baronet in 1902 and in 1916 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Faringdon, of Buscot Park in the county of Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). In 1917 he was made a Companion of Honour.
Lord Faringdon married Jane Ellen, daughter of Edward William Davis, in 1874. He died in March 1934, aged 83, and was succeeded by his grandson Gavin, his eldest son Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Harold Henderson having predeceased him.
