Algernon Kingscote, known as Algy, was a British tennis player who was born in Bangalore, India, in 1888 and died on 21 December 1964. He won the men's singles event at the Australasian Championships in 1919, the forerunner of the Australian Open, and he competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris.
