My favorites are the previously mentioned "Alex Chilton" by the Replacements, and this:

Jonathan Richman - "Velvet Underground"

Well. Alex Chilton is a great song and props to those who posted previously. Some others -

Misunderstood by wilco. Is about Paul westerberg

The right profile by the clash is about Montgomery Clift

Bukowski - modest mouse - about the writer bukowski

Crackle and drag -Paul westerberg about Emily Plath

Love both of those songs. When you get right down to it, just about every song is about somebody, with varying shades of obvious.
