Alex Maley (26 May 1874 – 20 September 1949) was a Scottish football manager and journalist. He was the younger brother of Tom Maley and Willie Maley.
Alex Maley managed a number of clubs in Scotland and England, including Clyde, Clydebank, Hibernian and Crystal Palace.
Maley became manager of Crystal Palace in November 1925, and oversaw thirteenth and sixth-place finishes in Division Three in 1926 and 1927 respectively. However, the next season started poorly and after a succession of defeats Maley resigned in October 1927, and returned to Scotland where he had a second spell as manager of Clydebank. He later served as a director of Hibernian.
