Alexandra Wilson is a barrister, author, and campaigner. She gained public attention after being mistaken for a defendant three times in one day at court, prompting her to address discrimination in the legal profession.

She contributed as an expert on Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley.
In 2020, she published her debut book, "In Black and White: A Young Barrister's Story of Race and Class in a Broken Justice System," which received positive reviews. Her second book, "The Witness," was released in summer 2024.
