Alan John Schultz (28 September 1938 – 31st August 2024) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL) between 1958 and 1968.

He had been a champion high-jumper at Caulfield Grammar School, winning the senior high jump at the 1955 Associated Grammar Schools Combined Athletics Meeting (as had South Melbourne's Jim Taylor in 1948). He also played for the school's First XVIII, a team which also contained other future VFL players, Ron Evans of Essendon and Ron Cabble of Hawthorn.
