Alexander McMicken (27 August 1837 – 30 July 1916) was the sixth Mayor of Winnipeg in 1883.[http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/mcmicken_a.shtml Manitoba Historical Society - Alexander McMicken]

After moving to Winnipeg in 1871, he established a banking career and the following year established a bank in his own name. After serving in two city council terms, he became as Mayor following the 1882 election.

He once lived at the J.C. Falls House at Roslyn Road, designated today as a historic building.{{cite web | url=http://www.winnipeg.ca/PPD/historic/pdf-consv/Roslyn36-long.pdf | accessdate=2008-11-11 | date=January 1994 | title=36 Roslyn Road - J.C.
