Alan Reeves (born 19 November 1967) is an English former football player.
He was known primarily as a reliable centre half for Football League clubs, although he play 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.
His twin brother David, also played professional football for a number of clubs and has most recently been a coach at Gainsborough Trinity. Alan stated on an interview with LBC Radio that he sent letters to prospective clubs, purporting to be from his brother, in order to secure trials with them.
On 19 June 2014, it was announced than Alan would become the new AFC Wimbledon Development Squad and Academy under 21 manager.
