Alan DeSousa (born 1959)[1] is a city councillor from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[2] He is also the borough mayor of Saint-Laurent, and the former chairman of the Montreal Executive Committee. He is currently vice-chairman in charge of sustainable development, the environment, parks and green spaces.

He was a member of the Union Montreal majority municipal party until its dissolution in 2013.[3]

On June 19, 2013, he declared himself a candidate for the job of interim mayor of Montreal after the resignation of Michael Applebaum.[4] However, in the council session on June 25 to select the new interim mayor, DeSousa withdrew his candidacy before the vote, endorsing Harout Chitilian.[5]
