Alexander Salton (1869 – 10 September 1916) was an Australian rules football goal umpire in the Victorian Football League. Alexander Salton played football for Richmond Football Club in the 1880s and 1890s, long prior to their admission to the VFL. When he enlisted in the AIF on 6 August 1915 he was 45 years old. The following day he umpired his only Richmond match and a fortnight later his last VFL match before entering camp at Broadmeadows.
