Alexander Gardner (April 28, 1861 – June 18, 1926) was a Canadian professional baseball catcher who played one major league game for the Washington Nationals of the American Association in 1884.

[1] Gardner, who lived in Danvers, Massachusetts, may have been recommended to the team by fellow resident Thorny Hawkes.

[4] He also played poorly in the field, committing six errors and allowing at least six passed balls[4][5] (some sources credit him with 12 passed balls, which would be an all-time major league record).

[3] Gardner most likely lived in Danvers for the remainder of his life, and died there in 1926 at the age of 65.
