Alexander Young (December 14, 1833 – July 2, 1910)[1] was a mechanical engineer and politician in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.

He married Ruth Pearce in early 1860 and traveled to Vancouver Island on August 26, 1860, to construct a sawmill.

[3] In 1875 Theophilus Harris Davies refinanced the Honolulu Iron Works and hired Young as manager.

From October 27, 1899, to May 18, 1900, he served as Minister of the Interior until the Territory of Hawaii government was established.

After von Hamm's death in 1965 the company eventually liquidated in one of Hawaii's first large bankruptcy cases.
