Alan Rogers (born 6 July 1954) is a retired English footballer who played as a winger.
A left-footed player, Rogers joined Plymouth Argyle as an apprentice in 1970. He made his debut three years later, and played his part in the team that reached the semi-finals of the League Cup in 1974. The club won promotion back to the Football League Second Division one year later, but Rogers only made one league appearance due to injury. He joined Portsmouth in 1979, and helped the club win two promotions in three years between 1980 and 1983. He went on to play for Southend United and Cardiff City prior to retiring from the professional game.
Rogers played non-league football for Falmouth Town and Saltash United, before returning to Plymouth to run the Swinton Hotel.
