Alasdair Roderick Mackenzie (3 August, 1903 – 8 November, 1970) was a Scottish farmer and politician who became a Liberal Member of Parliament.
Mackenzie was a native of Fearn in Ross-shire, and went to Broadford Junior Secondary School on the Isle of Skye. He became a farmer, and was active in the National Farmers Union, being President of the East Ross branch for two years. He was elected to Ross-shire County Council in 1935 on which he served for twenty years; on leaving the council he was a member of the Crofters' Commission for five years.
At the 1964 general election Mackenzie was elected as a Liberal for Ross and Cromarty. He was re-elected in 1966 but defeated at the 1970 general election. Mackenzie differed from the majority of his party in opposing United Kingdom membership of the European Economic Community. He was appointed to the Scottish Agricultural Advisory Committee but died later that year.
