Alexandros Koumoundouros (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Κουμουνδούρος; 4 February 1815 – 26 February 1883) was a Greek politician and founder of the Nationalist Party, who served as Prime Minister of Greece ten times, from 1865 to 1867, 1870 to 1871, and from 1875 to 1882. Born in Kampos, on the Messenian side of the Mani Peninsula, he was the son of Spyridon-Galanis Koumoundouros, the bey of the area during the last period of the administration of the region by the Ottoman Empire.
He was a political personality famous for his work towards national progress, despite him having been in office during a very unsettled period of Greek history, alongside his longtime political rival Charilaos Trikoupis. At the time of his death, he was the country's longest serving prime minister in non-consecutive terms in office.
