Alexander Gradon

Alexander Gradon (circa 1666 – May 1739), also spelt Graydon, was an Irish politician.

Gradon represented Naas in the Irish House of Commons between 1703 and 1711. He then sat for Harristown from 1713 to 1714, and again from 1715 to 1727.^[1]^[2]

In 1731, a man named Alexander Graydon was arrested for abetting a violent assault on Naas MP John Bourke. According to Eugene L. Wolfe, it is possible but not certain that this was the same man.^[3]
