Alexander Hamilton Rice Jr. (August 29, 1875 – July 23, 1956) was an American physician, geographer, and explorer of the Amazon Basin. He was a professor of geography at Harvard University from 1929 to 1952.
After earning a doctoral degree in 1981, Rice remained at Caltech as a postdoctoral fellow. His deduction of the genome of the virus that causes yellow fever led to the establishment of the flavivirus family, which later included viruses that cause West Nile fever and dengue.
