Alexander Blevins (1901 - 8 February 1975) was a policeman and Ulster Unionist politician. He sought election in 1958 in the Mid Tyrone constituency and won with 48.7% of the votes cast. This was in part due to a split in the nationalist vote. In August 1960 he was appointed as a Justice of the Peace for County Tyrone. In 1962 he stood to defend his seat, but this time he finished second to Tom Gormley, the independent runner-up in 1958, who by 1962 had successfully gained the Nationalist Party nomination. Blevins, who lived in Tamnaskenny, Cookstown, died suddenly on 8 February 1975.
