Alexander Fraser Tytler, noto come Lord Woodhouselee, fu un avvocato e scrittore scozzese. Ricoprì la cattedra di storia universale e antichità classiche presso l'Università di Edimburgo. La sua influenza si estese oltre l'ambito accademico, poiché ricoprì anche importanti incarichi legali in Scozia. Tytler fu amico di Robert Burns e il suo consiglio portò Burns a rimuovere versi dalla sua poesia Tam o' Shanter che risultavano offensivi per le professioni legali ed ecclesiastiche.
