Archbishop Alexander (Demoglou) of America (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Δήμογλου) (born 1876 – died 1942) was the first Greek Orthodox Archbishop of America, from 1922 to 1930.

[1][2][3][4] Born at Chalcedon (now Kadıköy) in 1876, Alexander was ordained deacon in 1895 and priest in 1902.

In America, he served first initially as synodical vicar of the proto-archdiocese of North and South America, under the jurisdiction of Meletius (Metaxakis) of Athens.

Alexander is credited as having saved 23 high school students from execution when the military commander of the Ionian Islands condemned them to death as a result of their involvement in actions against Mussolini.

[citation needed] Alexander was succeeded as Archbishop of America by Athenagoras who served until his election as Patriarch of Constantinople in 1948.
