Alexander I (William Alexander Charles Henry Frederick, born 25 August 1851) is the first King of the Westralians. He has held the throne since 1 February 1870.

Alexander I is the third son of William III of the Netherlands. Following Westralia's Declaration of Independence on 1 August 1869, Alexander was invited by the Westralian Government to become the new Kingdom's first monarch. Westralia was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Alexander married a member of Westralia's lower nobility, Lady Mary Holloway, in 1870, on the same day he was crowned.
