Alexander Duff bol škótsky misionár a pedagóg v Indii, ktorý sa zaslúžil o rozvoj vyššieho vzdelávania. Ako priekopník anglikánskeho evanjelizmu a vedecký liberálny reformátor sa snažil o poangličtenie cirkevnej praxe naprieč Britským impériom. Jeho odkaz žije v inštitúciách, ktoré založil, vrátane General Assembly's Institution v Kalkate, dnešnej Scottish Church College, a podieľal sa na založení Kalkatskej univerzity. Duff tiež dvakrát zastával funkciu moderátora Slobodnej cirkvi Škótska, čo bol jedinečný úspech.
