Alexander J. Clements (c. 1866 − 4 December 1933) was a supervisor of roads in Hudson County, New Jersey, for twenty years before his death. He worked as a cabinetmaker and then at the Pennsylvania Railroad before going into politics; he became leader of the First Ward in Jersey City. He owned a saloon named the Old Stone House, at Newark Avenue and Grove Street. He made failed attempts to run for office, as Sheriff and as Councilman, both in Jersey City.[1]

In 1911 he and thirteen other men were indicted for fraud in connection with contracting bids for the building of the courthouse in Jersey City, for which the budget was $3,500,000.[2]

He died of a heart condition on 4 December 1933 at the Medical Centre in Jersey City.[1]
