Alexandru Coconul (died 1632) was Hospodar and Voivode of Wallachia from 1623 to 1627 and Hospodar of Moldavia from 1629 to 1630.[1] He was the son of Radu Mihnea, who also was a Hospodar. He married Ruxandra Beglitzi. He was the last of Vlad the Impaler's Romanian bloodline.[2] He died on June 26, 1632 in Istanbul. It is possible that Radu Gioan Bey was his illegitimate son, however no documents reveal a legitimate heir.
