Alexander Henry Dennett (6 January 1903 – 4 December 1956) was an Australian politician.

He was born in Melbourne to John Dennett and Dorothy Neale and became an Anglican lay preacher in Gippsland before serving in World War I.

During World War II he served in the Middle East and the Pacific, and received the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
