Alexander Francis Lydon (1836-1917) was an English watercolour artist, illustrator and engraver, best known for his natural history studies and landscapes.

Born in Newbridge, Ireland, Lydon was the eldest of at least six children in a family of travellers. His father, Patrick Lydon, was a Chelsea Pensioner and Relieving Officer of Driffield Union, and his mother, Elizabeth Gwillym, was the daughter of a Lutheran pastor.

Lydon's artistic journey began when he was apprenticed to the printer Benjamin Fawcett at a young age, allowing him to work on numerous projects that came Fawcett's way.

Lydon's work was particularly associated with the publisher Groombridge and Sons in the 1860s and 1870s, for whom he illustrated numerous books ranging from natural history to classics such as 'The Pilgrim's Progress' (1871).
