Allan Alemán (born 29 July 1983) is a Costa Rican soccer player who plays for Liberia Mia. He is considered to be one of the best young players in Concacaf, and won a place on his team and among the hearts of Saprissa fans due to his hard work on the field, his quickness, great scoring skills and most of all, because of his natural talent for assisting goals to his teammates. To football fans in Costa Rica, he felt as the typical closer (pitcher, baseball), he entered a game Saprissa was probably going to lose, and he would either make or assist the winning goal. With Saprissa he won two national championships, as well as an UNCAF Cup title and a CONCACAF Champions Cup title. After the Clausura 2007 he signed with Italian businessman Matteo Quintavalle, which meant his departure from the team, seeing as Quintavalle is not a FIFA agent, and Saprissa would not negotiate with him. Quintavalle was accused of fraud, and Alemán left Quintavalle (after a breach of contract by Quintavalle), and signed with Puntarenas F.C. on his own. 5 days before the transfer window closed, Aleman signed with Liberia Mia, but was allowed to play 2 more matches with Puntareanas against Saprissa, one of them for the UNCAF Cup Semifinals.

Allan participated in the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship Toyota Cup with his team, who ended up in third place, behind São Paulo Futebol Clube and Liverpool F.C..
