Alfred James Conn (born 5 April 1952 in Kirkcaldy) was a Scottish professional footballer, who was the first post-war player to play for both Rangers and Celtic.

Conn made his senior debut for Rangers against Dundalk in the Fairs Cup tournament in November 1968. He was part of the Rangers team which lifted the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972 and also helped the Ibrox team win the Scottish Cup in 1973, scoring their second goal in a 3-2 final victory over Celtic at Hampden Park. He later, in 1977, won another Scottish Cup medal with Celtic when they defeated Rangers 1-0 in the final.

In between his stints with Celtic and Rangers he played for Tottenham Hotspur football club from 1974-1977. He was the last player to be signed by their manager Bill Nicholson. Despite playing only 35 games and scoring 6 goals, he was a huge fan favourite, dubbed the "King of White Hart Lane" after scoring a hat-trick on his debut in a 5-2 win at Newcastle.

Conn is the son of the famous footballer Alfie Conn senior, who was one of the 'Terrible Trio' of Heart of Midlothian in the 1950s. Conn Jr. followed in his father's footsteps by signing for the Tynecastle club in 1980, following a short spell playing indoor football in the United States with Pittsburgh Spirit.

Conn wound down his career, which included two appearances for the Scottish national side, with short spells at Blackpool and Motherwell before retiring in 1983.

On the 5th February 2007 Alfie was included in the Rangers F.C. Hall of Fame.
