Alexander James Doolan (born 29 November 1985) is an Australian cricketer, who plays domestically for Tasmania and the Hobart Hurricanes. He plays his club cricket for South Hobart/Sandy Bay Cricket Club.

Career
The innings that brought him wider public attention was his unbeaten 161 for Australia A against the touring South Africans in November 2012 and his work against Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander meant Doolan featured in discussions about who would replace the retiring Ricky Ponting in the Test team. His opportunity did not come but Doolan finished that summer fourth on the Sheffield Shield tally with 715 runs at 42.05, improving on his leaner 2011–12. In the 2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup, Doolan scored 362 runs at an average of 120.66 with his highest score being 93. Alex had 3 not outs throughout the tournament.

On 29 December 2013, it was announced that Doolan would replace the injured first drop batsman Shane Watson if he was unable to prove his fitness for the fifth Test at the SCG. Doolan made his Test debut in the 1st Test against South Africa in February 2014. In the same Test he took an excellent catch to dismiss Graeme Smith.

In November 2019, during the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield season, Doolan became the seventh batsman for Tasmania to score a century in each innings in a first-class match.
