Alan Martello (born 14 September 1952) is a former Australian rules football player who played in the VFL between 1970 and 1980 for Hawthorn, and between 1981 and 1983 for Richmond. Martello was a tough Centre Half Forward and a prodigious kicker of the football. He was the youngest man ever to reach 200 games.

Following his playing career he had a long broadcasting career with 3AW as a commentator on the station's AFL coverage.
