Alexios Branas was a Byzantine general, one of relatively few prominent generals never to raise a rebellion against Andronikos I Komnenos, on whose behalf he led a campaign against Hungary and countered the rebellion of Theodore Kantakouzenos in Anatolia. A staunch Komnenos supporter, he led a rebellion against the new emperor Isaac II Angelos in 1187 and was killed in action.
