Alexius Stafford (c.1648 – 1691) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest and politician, who served as Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin from 1688 to 1691.
He was nominated as the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin in March 1688 by King James II, who also gave Stafford a pension of £40.
[1] In October 1689, Stafford took up his position in Christ Church following the reconsecration of the cathedral for Catholic worship in September and the flight of the incumbent dean, William Moreton.
Stafford regularly presided over services attended by King James and was noted for his zeal, being highly regarded by contemporaries for both his personal qualities and ability.
He fled Christ Church following the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, just eight months after his formal appointment to the cathedral.
