Alexander Campbell "Eck" Robertson (1887–1975) was a pioneering Texas fiddler widely recognized as one of the first musicians to commercially record country music. Born in Arkansas in 1887 and raised in the Texas Panhandle, Robertson became a champion fiddler whose early recordings helped lay the foundation for modern country and western music. He later settled in Borger, Texas, where he lived until his death in 1975.

Laid to rest at Westlawn Memorial Park in Borger, his gravestone reads, "World's Champion Fiddler."
