Alan Coleman (born Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom) is a prolific TV series writer, director and producer, primarily in the southern hemisphere (eg, The Young Doctors, The Restless Years, Neighbours, Shortland Street). He was originally the head of children's programming at ATV in the UK until emigrating to Australia in 1974. In 1997, he directed several episodes of the British soap opera, Family Affairs as a part of a working holiday in the UK. At one point, he also temporarily parted company with the Reg Grundy production stable to establish his own company which provided television coverage of major sporting events. Before going behind the camera, he originally worked as an actor and is on record as saying that 'you cannot be a good director unless you have acted yourself'.

In 2008 Alan was presented with the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding contribution to the 'soap opera' industry at The Soap Shows- Aussie Soap Awards.
