Alexandria Thom () (born 11 August 1981) is a Scottish singer-songwriter and instrumentalist who became widely known in 2006 for her debut single, "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)". The single finished the year as the best selling single in Australia, and the 5th best selling single of 2006 in the United Kingdom. Her debut album, Smile... It Confuses People (2006), also achieved considerable commercial success, reaching number one in her native Scotland, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and was certified Platinum in the United Kingdom, whilst achieving Gold status in both Australia and New Zealand, and a Silver certification in France. The album's second single "What If I'm Right" achieved moderate commercial success.
In May 2008, she released "The Devil's Beat" as the lead single from her second studio album The Pink & the Lily which was released the following week. The single achieved only moderate commercial success, whilst the album failed to match the performance of her debut album. A second and final single, "Saturday Night", was released from the album, failing to make any chart appearance. Her subsequent albums, Merchants and Thieves (2010) and Flesh and Blood (2012) achieved some commercial success in the UK, whilst Merchant and Thieves reached number three on the Jazz & Blues Albums Charts in the United Kingdom.
