Alexandra Potter (born 1970) is a British author of romantic comedies.

Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, Potter was educated at Liverpool University, where she received an honours degree in English Literature and Film Studies.
In 1993, at the age of 23, Potter moved to London to be the editor of a puzzle magazine. In her spare time, she wrote articles for British glossies such as ELLE, Company, More!, and Cosmopolitan. Five years later, she moved to Australia, where she worked for the Australian Vogue and Cleo Magazine.
In 1999, Potter began work on her first novel, What's New, Pussycat?. She signed a deal with literary agent Stephanie Cabot. Within days of handing in her finished manuscript, a bidding war broke out between several publishers. Potter ended up signing a two-book deal, and Pussycat was published in April 2000.

Her novel Me and Mr. Darcy won Best New Fiction at The Jane Austen Regency World Awards in May 2008.
Potter has sold the film rights to several of her novels, including You're The One I Don't Want and Calling Romeo.
Her latest book, The Love Detective was published in January 2014.
