Alexander Teixeira de Mattos (1865–1921) was Dutch-English translator and writer.

"The famous translator of Maeterlinck, Fabre, Coupeus, Wald, and many other died suddenly at the end of 1921. In this biographical and critical sketch, the author, who was his most intimate friend during the last chapter of his life, pays a tribute to his subject's double genius for scholarship and friendship."
