Alan Reeves (born 19 November 1967) is an English football coach and former footballer.
As a player, he was a centre back who notably played in the Premier League for Wimbledon. He also played in the Football League for Norwich City, Gillingham, Chester City, Rochdale and Swindon Town.
He has since managed the under-23 side at AFC Wimbledon, a position he held for five years from 2014, departing in May 2019 by mutual consent.
He was known primarily as a reliable centre half for Football League clubs, although he played FA Premier League football for four seasons with Wimbledon during the 1990s. He also played for Gillingham, Chester City, Rochdale and Swindon Town, where he spent the last eight years of his playing career before hanging up his boots in 2006, also as a player/coach, before becoming assistant manager.
Reeves served as assistant manager for Brentford, from where he left with manager Scott Fitzgerald on 10 April 2007 after the club's relegation. He interviewed for the vacant Crawley Town manager role in May 2007, but was unsuccessful in receiving the job, reportedly due to differences with then chairman James Moore.
