Alan Parsons (* 20. prosince 1948 Londýn, Anglie) je britský audio inženýr, muzikant a producent. Spolupracoval na nahrávání mnoha úspěšných alb populární hudby, jako byla například Abbey Road (The Beatles), či The Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd).

V Abbey Road Studios začal Parsons pracovat od října 1967 jako 18letý. Jeho jméno se poprvé objevilo na albu Abbey Road. Alan Parsons pracoval i na projektech Paula McCartneyho (alba Wild Life a Red Rose Speedway), pěti albech skupiny The Hollies, dvou albech od Pink Floyd, Atom Heart Mother a The Dark Side of the Moon, za které získal svou první nominaci na cenu Grammy.

Dnes Alan Parsons pobývá v Santa Barbaře v Kalifornii.
