Alexander Hare (1775–1834) was an English colonialist merchant and politician, infamous for his polygamy.
According to British anthropologist Nigel Barley, Hare's "enduring notoriety" is due to his "large, multi-ethnic harem of [enslaved] women."[1]
Hare is also known for his attempts at founding settlements in Maluka near Banjarmasin on the island of Borneo and the Cocos-Keeling Islands. Following "his brief appointment as the Commissioner of Borneo," he had a harem of 40,[2] sometimes reported as 100,[3] enslaved women, mostly of Malay ancestry.[2]
