Alexander Fraser Tytler, conocido como Lord Woodhouselee, fue un abogado y escritor escocés. Ocupó una cátedra de historia universal y antigüedades clásicas en la Universidad de Edimburgo. Su influencia se extendió más allá del ámbito académico, ya que también ocupó importantes cargos legales en Escocia. Tytler fue amigo de Robert Burns y su consejo llevó a Burns a eliminar versos de su poema Tam o' Shanter que resultaban ofensivos para las profesiones legal y clerical.
