Alan Ezard (born 15 April 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL/AFL. Nicknamed 'The Lizard', he played 184 games for 200 goals, retiring in 1993.

Originally from Broadford, Victoria, Ezard made his debut with the Essendon Football Club in 1983 and made a name for himself as a very strong mark for a 173 cm man, playing mostly in the forward pocket or as a rover.

He also played in four Grand Finals (1983, 1984, 1985, 1990), the second and third of which were premiership wins.

Ezard has a nephew, James, who played for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the mid-2000s and won the SANFL's highest individual honour in 2009, the Magarey Medal playing for West Adelaide.

In 2007 Ezard was the senior coach of the Pascoe Vale Football Club in the Essendon District Football League.
