Allan William Thomas "Alan" Crawford (21 January 1916 – 28 March 1988) was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Crawford, a former Carlton seconds player, had a stop-start career in the VFL, starting with a stint from 1936 to 1938. During the early war years he played for South Adelaide, then went back to North Melbourne in 1943. A follower, Crawford won North Melbourne's best and fairest award in 1944. He was playing coach of Launceston in 1946 and coached another Tasmanian club, Penguin, in 1947, before returning to North Melbourne in 1948, for two final seasons.
