Angelito Toledo "Hajji" Alejandro (born December 26, 1954) is a Filipino singer and actor, who was a major pop star in the 1970s and 1980s. Just like another OPM legend Basil Valdez, he came from the group Circus Band. He was the first winner of the Metro Manila Popular Music Festival.
Dubbed the "kilabot ng mga kolehiyala" (college girls' heartthrob), Alejandro is best remembered for such songs as "Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika", "Panakíp Butas" and "Nakapagtataka".
In the 1980s, Alejandro operated a small restaurant along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles with wife, beauty queen and actress Río Díaz. They have a son, Delara drummer Ali Alejandro. Rio Díaz died of colon cancer in 2004.
Alejandro is also the father of singer Rachel Alejandro.
