Alderman Sydney Alexander Anderson (born 23 April 1949) is a politician in Northern Ireland.

In July 2010, he was appointed as David Simpson's replacement in the Northern Ireland Assembly, where he represents Upper Bann.

Regarding the choice, Anderson said "I want first of all to pay tribute to both Robert and Philip who were both very able candidates. It would have been a pleasure to have had either of them at the Assembly and to have worked on their behalf." He is a member of Craigavon Borough Council, and has served as Mayor and Deputy Mayor.

He was a member of the All Party Group on Neurology, Public Accounts Committee and Committee for Justice in the Assembly. He had been a member of the Committee for Social Development, Committee for Employment and Learning and Committee on Standards and Privileges. In 2017 he announced he would not be seeking election for the 2017 assembly election.
