Ramon J. Alexander (born October 19, 1984) is an American politician who served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2016 to 2022. He represented the 8th district, which includes Gadsden County and sections of Tallahassee in Leon County since 2016.[1] From 2018 to 2020, Alexander served as Democratic whip.[2]

He graduated from Florida A&M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2007. He is married to Taniyah Alexander.[1]

On May 11, 2022, Alexander was accused of sexual harassment by a male former employee of Florida A&M University. The victim stated that Alexander had groped him and sent sexually explicit photos and videos. Alexander acknowledged his sexual relationship with the man, but that it was consensual.[3] Alexander resigned as Democratic co-leader days after the Tallahassee Democrat reported on the allegations and announced that he would not run for re-election.
