Alan Parsons (rođen 20. decembar 1948) engleski je audio inženjer, tekstopisac pesama, muzičar i producent ploča. On je sin Denisa Parsonsa koji je razvio Parsonsov kod. Alan je učestvovao u produkciji nekoliko značajnih albuma, uključujući Bitlsovski -{Abbey Road}- i -{Let It Be}-, te istoimeni debitantski album Ambrozije, kao i Pink Flojdov -{The Dark Side of the Moon}-. Njegova sopstvena grupa, The Alan Parsons Project, kao i njegovi kasniji solo snimci, takođe su bili komercijalno uspešni. On je nominovan za 13 nagrada Gremi, a do njegove prve pobede je došlo 2019. godine za najbolji imerzivni audio album, -{Eye in the Sky}- (izdanje povodom 35. godišnjice).
