'''Alexander IV''' of Macedon (Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος Δʹ; 323 BC – 310/309 BC) was the posthumous son of [[Alexander the Great]] and [[Roxana]]. Although proclaimed king at birth, he never ruled in his own right. His short life was dominated by the [[Wars of the Diadochi]], and he was ultimately murdered on the orders of [[Cassander]], ending the [[Argead Dynasty]].

Alexander IV was born shortly after the death of Alexander the Great in Babylon. His mother Roxana, a Bactrian noblewoman, had married Alexander during the eastern campaigns. Because he was the only legitimate male heir, the Macedonian army declared the infant Alexander IV king, with Philip III Arrhidaeus (Alexander’s half‑brother) serving as co‑king under regency.
