The Alexander ALX300 (later known as the TransBus ALX300 and the Alexander Dennis ALX300) is a low-floor full-size single-decker bus body built by Alexander at Falkirk, Scotland, United Kingdom, which was first built in 1997 that is the low-floor replacement of the Strider and the PS type. It was one of the ALX-series bodywork, which accounted for 5 different models (ALX100\ALX200\ALX300\ALX400\ALX500), built for new generation (mainly low floor) chassis produced since late 1990s.

It could be mounted on the MAN 18.220, DAF SB220 or Volvo B10BLE full length chassis. It has a rounded roof dome similar to the ALX200, a deep double-curvature windscreen with plastic mouldings under the windscreen to make it look deeper and a separate destination sign. The ALX300 shares its appearance with the ALX200 midibus body, ALX400 2-axle double-decker body and the ALX500 3-axle double-decker body and belongs to the same family as the ALX100 minibus body.
