J. Alec Motyer (1924 – 26 August 2016) was an Irish biblical scholar. He was Vice-Principal of Clifton Theological College and vicar of St. Luke's, Hampstead and Christ Church, Westbourne (Bournemouth) (1981 - 1989), before becoming Principal of Trinity College, Bristol. He spent his later years in Poynton, Cheshire.
Motyer was born in Dublin and educated at Trinity College, Dublin where he received BA, MA, and BD degrees. He trained to become an Anglican minister at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.
Tremper Longman III describes him as a "competent and popular expositor", while Tim Keller has said that Motyer and Edmund Clowney were "the fathers of my preaching ministry". By contrast, Motyer's own opinion of himself was, "I’m not really a scholar. I’m just a man who loves the Word of God.”
