The Rural Municipality of Alexander (French: Municipalité rurale d'Alexander)[2] is a rural municipality in the Eastman Region of Manitoba, Canada. The town of Powerview-Pine Falls lies adjacent to the municipality, as does the Sagkeeng First Nation Indian reserve.

It was first incorporated as a Local Government District in 1945 and received its present status as a rural municipality on 1 January 1997. Parts of the RM (Great Falls area) had been under a boil water advisory since April 18, 2006, until a $5-million water treatment plant was installed in September 2019.[3]
