Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Family name hatnote Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Alexandros Mavrogenis Bey was the Ottoman-appointed Prince of Samos from 1902 to 1904.

A member of the Mavrogheni family, his father, Spyridon Mavrogenis Pasha, was the personal physician of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[1]

A Phanariot,[1] he was a secretary to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman minister to the United States, before he was appointed governor of Samos,[2] in March 1902.Шаблон:Citation needed Sinan Kuneralp, author of "Ottoman Diplomatic and Consular Personnel in the United States of America, 1867-1917," described him as "well-connected".[1]

While minister to the U.S. he examined activities of Armenian political operatives. Kuneralp wrote that Alexandros Mavrogenis was "diligent" in this task.[1] He had the nickname "Prince of Envoys" as he spent a lot of funds on recreational activities.[1]

When relations between Spyridon and Abdul Hamid declined, Alexandros lost his ambassadorial position.[1] Armenians in the United States had a favorable reception to his departure.[3] On being appointed to the office of Prince of Samos, he was well-intentioned and wanted to work for the progress and good of Samos but fell short of these noble intentions.Шаблон:Citation needed

However, he was an extremely nervous and timid man and because of the situation with the quarreling political factions on the island, which left no room for wise administration. He ruled strictly, but after elections to the Samian Parliament, the party he supported lost and he was dismissed.Шаблон:Citation needed

He founded the Mavrogenios Professional School of Malagari and also ordered built the marble fountain of the monastery of Zoodohos Pigi.
