Alan Richard Knill (born 8 October 1964 in Slough) is a former footballer. He is presently a coach at Chesterfield. Between February 2006 and March 2007 he was manager of League Two side Rotherham United.
As a player, Knill was a central defender for Southampton (1982-84), Halifax Town (1984-87), Swansea City (1987-89), Bury (1989-93), Cardiff City (1993, on loan), Scunthorpe United (1993-97) and Rotherham United (1997-99).
He also played once for Wales, in a World Cup qualifier against Holland in Amsterdam in September 1988, where he impressively marked Marco van Basten out of the match.
