Alan Milliken Heisey II, QC (born c. 1954) is a Canadian lawyer who serves as vice-chair of the Toronto Transit Commission board. He was chair of the Toronto Police Services Board in 2004 when it voted not to renew the contract of Toronto Police Chief Julian Fantino.

Heisey was born in 1954 in Don Mills, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto. He graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1978 and joined the firm of Blake, Cassels & Graydon in 1981. Since 1985, he has been a partner in the law firm of Papazian Heisey Myers. He was appointed a federal Queen's Counsel in 1993. His father, Alan Milliken Heisey Sr., was a North York alderman from 1976 to 1980.

Heisey was a member and then chair of the Toronto Parking Authority from 1992 to 2001. He oversaw the introduction of the world's first wireless, solar-powered pay-and-display consoles that accept credit cards on Toronto streets. Toronto was the first North American city to replace its parking meters with pay and display machines. After removal of the meters, the remaining posts had bicycle parking rings installed on them, significantly increasing the supply of bicycle parking.

He was retained by the City of Toronto to represent the environmental group 'Save the Rouge' in the Oak Ridges Moraine Ontario Municipal Board hearing in 2000-2001. The hearing was stopped by the passage of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act in 2001, which preserved the Moraine from development.
