Alan Martello (born 14 September 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club and Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Martello was Hawthorn's regular centre half-forward for much of the 1970s^[1] and a prodigious kicker of the football, Martello was the youngest man ever to reach 200 games. Martello left Hawthorn in 1980 after a bitter dispute and played in a losing Grand Final for Richmond in 1982.

Following his playing career he had a long broadcasting career with 3AW as a commentator on the station's AFL coverage.
