Alex Wylie (born 20 February, 1973) is a former English cricketer, who played first-class cricket for Worcestershire in the 1990s. He was born in Tamworth.

Wylie made only three first-class appearances.

He had played for Worcestershire's Second XI as early as 1989, [cite web | url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Players/11/11439/Second_Eleven_Championship_Matches.html | title=Second Eleven Championship Matches played by Alex Wylie | accessdate=2007-05-29 | publisher=CricketArchive] and joined the staff in 1991. However, injury blighted his chances and it was not until 1993 that a feature in "The Guardian" listed him as Worcestershire's "one to watch", noting his "extremely rapid" bowling.
