Alan B. Wilkie (born in 1951) is an English former football referee, who officiated in the Football League and the Premier League, and for UEFA. He was born in Denton Burn, Newcastle upon Tyne, but now lives in Chester-le-Street, County Durham. His other occupation during his refereeing career was as a Telecommunications electrical engineer, and he now works for the Football Association as a regional manager for referees in North East England.
Wilkie became a Class 3 referee in 1977, at the age of 26,† when a serious knee injury meant him having to give up playing football in local leagues. In 1981† he was selected as a linesman for the Northern League, and went on to referee in that league a year later. In 1984, he was appointed to the list of linesmen for the Football League, then became a supplementary referee for that league in 1985. He was further promoted to the full Football League list in 1988. His first match after this promotion was in the old Football League Third Division on 27 August 1988, the game between Mansfield Town and Northampton Town, which finished 1-1.†
