Alexander Dunlop (1684–1747) was a British scholar of Ancient Greek.
His daughter Elizabeth Dunlop married Rev Patrick Boyle of Shewalton (who inherited Shewalton from his uncle Patrick Boyle, Lord Shewalton) who was son of John Boyle, 3rd Earl of Glasgow.
Dunlop was appointed Professor of Greek in the University of Glasgow about 1706.
He published in 1736 a Greek grammar, which for many years was in general use in Scottish schools.
In consequence of failing sight, he resigned his chair in 1742 on the terms that his salary and house should be secured to him during life.
