Alexandre de Villeneuve (25 May 1677, Hyères – 1756) was an 18th-century French classical composer.

A priest in Hyères, he was received in 1697 as a chorister in Saint-Trophime d'Arles and became master of Music in 1701. He remained in this office until 1706 and then went to Paris. In 1719 he published a book of sacred music dedicated to Madame d'Orléans.
