Alan Brooke, Viscount Alanbrooke Pertama

Fil Marsyal Alan Francis Brooke, Viscount Alanbrooke Pertama, KG, GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO & Bar (23 Julai 1883 – 17 Jun 1963), adalah seorang pegawai kanan Tentera Darat British. Beliau adalah Ketua Turus Am Imperial (CIGS), iaitu ketua profesional Tentera Darat British, semasa Perang Dunia II, dan telah dinaikkan pangkat ke Fil Marsyal pada 1944. Selaku pengerusi Jawatankuasa Ketua Turus, Brooke merupakan penasihat ketenteraan utama kepada Winston Churchill, iaitu Perdana Menteri British, dan menyelaras usaha perang British sehingga Pihak Bersekutu menang pada 1945. Selepas bersara dari Tentera Darat British, beliau menjadi Lord Konstabel England sewaktu Hari Pertabalan  Ratu Elizabeth II pada 1953. Diari-diari perangnya menarik perhatian orang ramai terhadap kritikannya ke atas Churchill dan terhadap pandangan tajam Brooke ke atas tokoh-tokoh utama perang yang lain.
