Alexander Russell Simpson (28 February 1905 — 10 November 1975) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and schoolmaster.

Simpson was born at Dunfermline in February 1905 and was educated at Dunfermline High School. A wicket-keeper, he played club cricket for Dunfermline and Forfarshire, and made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against the touring South Africans at Glasgow in 1924. He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1934, making twelve appearances.[1]

Simpson took 14 catches and made 10 stumpings in first-class cricket, and scored 101 runs at an average of 6.31.[2] In his report on Scotland's match against the touring New Zealanders in 1931, the New Zealand cricket historian Tom Reese said Simpson's wicket-keeping was superior to any English player's.[3]

Outside of cricket, Simpson was a schoolmaster. He died in England at Weston-super-Mare in November 1975.
