Alexander Cheves Haskell (September 22, 1839 – April 13, 1910) was a Colonel in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War and a Democratic politician in Reconstruction era South Carolina.

Haskell was born in Abbeville County and raised in Columbia, where he graduated second in his class from South Carolina College and was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, right before the start of the American Civil War.

En route to Virginia in September 1861 for action in the Eastern Theater, Haskell married Rebecca Coles Singleton in Charlottesville.

It was at Darbytown Road where he was most seriously injured after suffering a shot to the head and losing the function of his left eye, but he managed to recover in time to participate in the Appomattox Campaign.

Haskell was appointed by General Lee to surrender the Confederate cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia at the Appomattox Court House on April 12, 1865.
