Шаблон:Other people Шаблон:Use dmy dates Captain Alexander Crawford Browne (died 11 December 1942) was an Ulster Unionist Party politician.[1]

Crawford Browne attended Methodist College Belfast from 1873 to 1880. He served in the 36th (Ulster) Division from 1914 to 1919 and became a Captain in 1917. In 1924 he was elected as a Belfast City Councillor before becoming a councillor for Princeton Ward in Bangor in 1927.[2] He was elected at the 1931 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast West, and held the seat until his death.[3]

In 1935, he married Dorothy Dawson. Dorothy was from a family of eight who also attended Methodist College Belfast.[4]

His death triggered a by-election in February 1943, when the formerly safe Unionist seat was won by the Northern Ireland Labour Party candidate Jack Beattie.
