Sir Alexander Wilson Hungerford (1884 – 19 January 1969), known as Wilson Hungerford, was a Unionist politician in Northern Ireland.
Hungerford was appointed as an Assistant Whip in 1933, and given the title "Assistant Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Finance". In 1941, he moved to become Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Commerce. In 1943 he moved to the same post in the Ministry of Home Affairs, and in 1944 to Health and Local Government, before becoming Chief Whip in November, serving until the 1945 general election, when he lost his seat.[1]
In 1948, Hungerford was elected to the Senate of Northern Ireland, serving until 1957, including a stint as Deputy Speaker from 1953 until 1956.[1]
He retired to England and lived at Dragons, a prominent house in Upper Park, Loughton, Essex.
