Alexander Hutchinson (born 4 October 1908, date of death unknown) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a winger.
Hutchinson began his professional career in England, with Burnley in 1929. After five league games and two goals, he joined the Clarets' Lancashire neighbours Blackpool the following season, 1930–31. He made his debut for the Tangerines on 1 November 1930, in a 3–0 defeat at Chelsea. He appeared in the following five league games, scoring twice. His first goal came in a 2–2 draw against Aston Villa at Bloomfield Road on 22 November; the second a fortnight later, a 3–1 reversal at West Ham on 6 December.
Blackpool did not retain his services at the end of the campaign, at which point he left to join Bo'ness.
He finished his career with Cardiff City in 1934, making 23 league appearances and scoring four goals for the Bluebirds.
