Alexander Thomas "Alex" Meechan (born 29 January 1980) is an English former footballer who played as a striker and midfielder. He is currently the Academy Head Coach at Bradford Park Avenue.
Meechan was born in Plymouth, England and attended St Boniface's Catholic College. He was an Associate Schoolboy at Norwich City in the 1994–95 season. He moved to Swindon Town in 1997. He was signed by Bristol City in 1998. During this spell he spent time on loan with Yeovil Town, who were in the Football Conference at the time.
Meechan was signed by Forest Green Rovers in 2001. Meechan's goals helped Rovers continually avoid relegation from the Football Conference. He featured for the club in the 2001 FA Trophy final at Villa Park. He was signed by Dagenham & Redbridge on a two-year deal in 2003. Dagenham had come within a whisker of promotion to The Football League in the previous two seasons but this spell was not to provide the dream ticket for Meechan, as the Daggers languished in mid-table in the 2003–04 season. Meechan re-joined Forest Green on a three-month loan in November 2003, after which he was released by the club. Meechan was re-signed by Forest Green Rovers following his release by Dagenham. He was signed by Leigh RMI in 2004.
