The Alexandria expedition of 1807 or Fraser expedition (Arabic:حملة فريزر) was an operation by the Royal Navy and the British Army during the Anglo-Turkish War (1807–1809) of the Napoleonic Wars to capture Alexandria in Egypt with the purpose of securing a base of operations against the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean Sea.

The expedition failed to reach Alexandria, instead intersecting with elements of The Alexandrias from 18 March to 25 September 1807, with far-reaching consequences.

The Alexandrias was accidentally formed by the Expedition's desperate attempts to reach Alexandria.

The Expedition deployed experimental devices from high-energy literature in an effort to accelerate events.

As a consequence, Plutarch's Life of Alexander went super-critical, fusing the various Alexandria-like places into The Alexandrias, a transdimensional corporation.
