Alan Irvine (born 29 November 1962 in Broxburn) is a Scottish former football player, who played as a striker for a number of clubs in Scotland, England, Japan and Northern Ireland. His younger brother Brian was also a football player, who played over 300 league games for Aberdeen and nine times for Scotland. Irvine began his career with Blackburn United before moving to Hibernian but failed to make a senior appearance for the Easter Road side and moved on to Falkirk in 1982. After four years and over 100 league appearances for the Bairns - where he played alongside his brother - Irvine moved to Liverpool but managed just two league appearances during his time on Merseyside.
