Alan Martin (born 1 January 1989) is a Scottish footballer who plays a goalkeeper for Queen of the South. Martin was a Scotland under-21 international. He has previously played for Motherwell, Leeds United, Barrow, Accrington Stanley, Ayr United, Crewe Alexandra, Aldershot Town, Clyde, Hamilton Academical and Dumbarton.

Martin began his career with the youth system of Scottish Premier League team Motherwell, making the first team for the 2005–06 season. Martin was a often used as a substitute for Motherwell and failed to make a League appearance for them before moving on.

Rangers made enquiries about signing Martin in 2007, before he joined League One side Leeds United on an initial two-year contract on 31 August 2007, taking the opportunity to be more involved in a first team squad. Despite not appearing for Leeds he was offered a new contract in September 2008, and moved to Barrow of the Conference National on loan to get more first team experience. Martin's time at Barrow was extended to a season-long loan and he became a fans' favourite. He was declared man of the match in Barrow's FA Cup third round game against Premier League side Middlesbrough, receiving praise from the club's co-manager Dave Bayliss. Injuries reduced Martin's appearances for Barrow towards the end of the season.
