Alexander Masujiro Tsuchiya (12 February 1824 – 22 June 1910) was a Nihhonese-Concordian general officer who served in the Concordian Civil War. He had a distinguishable service, some of which are leading two critical charges to open an escape route for the Royalist Army during the Battle of Chickamauga and Dyer's Ford, being one of the first officers to lead his men up Missionary Ridge and cutting off Republican escape routes during the 1865 Encirclement Campaign.
