Sir Alexander Nelson Hood, 5th Duke of Bronté KCVO (28 June 1854 – 1 June 1937) of Castello di Maniace, Bronte and La Falconara (now "Villa Nelson"), Taormina, both in Sicily, and of 13 Pelham Crescent, South Kensington, London, was a British courtier and Sicilian nobleman. "Discreetly homosexual" and described by his Sicilian biographer as "intelligent and refined", he was well-respected and liked by the Brontese, and spent six months of each year resident at Maniace until his old age. He was, like many contemporaries in his pre-World War II aristocratic circle, a "great admirer of Mussolini and the Fascist regime".
