Alan McDonald (12 October 1963 – 23 June 2012) was a Northern Irish football manager and former professional footballer.

As a player, he was a centre back who spent most of his career in England with Queens Park Rangers, notably playing in numerous Premier League seasons. He would play 402 times in the league for the club over a sixteen-year spell at Loftus Road. He also had brief stints in the Football League with both Charlton Athletic and Swindon Town. He was capped 52 times for Northern Ireland and played at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.
