Alexander Gordon Higgins (Belfast, 18 maart 1949 – aldaar, 24 juli 2010) was een snookerspeler uit Noord-Ierland. Higgins nam tijdens het World Snooker Championship 1972 voor het eerst deel aan het wereldkampioenschap snooker en won direct het toernooi. Zijn flamboyante stijl stond haaks op het stoffige imago van de sport. Hij kreeg de bijnaam Hurricane ('orkaan') en verwierf een status die vergelijkbaar was met die van zijn stadsgenoot George Best.
