'''Alexander LaVelle''' "'''Xander'''" '''Harris''' is a fictional character created for the fantasy television series ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV Series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' (1997–2003). He was developed by [[Joss Whedon]] and portrayed throughout the television series by [[Nicholas Brendon]] and in two episodes by his twin brother, [[Kelly Donovan]]. He was conceived as an [[Everyman|everyman]] and a male character for series heroine [[Buffy Summers]] ([[Sarah Michelle Gellar]]) to interact with, and to provide [[comic relief]] in the series. Xander is one of [[Scooby Gang (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|several friends of Buffy]] who assist her in saving the world against numerous supernatural events that plague [[Sunnydale|Sunnydale, California]], a town built over a [[Hellmouth (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|doorway to hell]].

Xander is based in part on Whedon himself, particularly in his high school years; as such, he is often the most geeky as well as witty and verbose of ''Buffy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s characters. The character's overriding arc through the series has been his struggle towards maturity and earning the respect of others. In the [[Canon (Fiction)|canonical]] comic book continuation of the series, ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight (Comic Book)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight]]'' (2007–2011), Xander comes to achieve these goals in becoming the tactical leader of a global army of [[Slayer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|Vampire Slayers]] alongside Buffy.

Academic attention to the character has frequently come in the form of [[Gender Studies|gender studies]] or with a focus on [[Social Class|social class]], reflecting Xander's [[Working Class|working class]] home life and his fears of inadequacy. However, Xander's unique position as both outside of and within the main group enhances his insight into the other characters, especially as the series continues; in ''Season Eight'', he is Buffy's unofficial "[[Watcher (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|Watcher]]". As such, his character is noted for being the one who observes and sees everything rightly. Critics have noted that although Xander frequently exhibits a struggle of [[Masculinity|masculinity]], his storylines often focus on his romantic conquests. Following his unrequited love for Buffy, these include the tumultuous relationship with rich girl [[Cordelia Chase]] ([[Charisma Carpenter]]), brief fling with his best friend [[Willow Rosenberg|Willow]] ([[Alyson Hannigan]]) prior to her [[coming out]], and his long-term relationship with ex-demon [[Anya Jenkins|Anya]] ([[Emma Caulfield]]). In ''Season Eight'', the character's older-brother relationship with Buffy's little sister [[Dawn Summers|Dawn]] ([[Michelle Trachtenberg]]) also develops along romantic lines, too late for Buffy to realise her compatibility with Xander.

The character of Xander Harris also appears in numerous items in the series [[Expanded Universe]], such as comic books, tie-in novels and video games.
