Alpha Nyan (born 19 June 1978) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder.

He grew up in the club Strømsgodset IF and was fielded as a substitute in the 1996 cup quarter-final. In 1997 he made his Eliteserien debut. He was seen as surplus, but after a period in neighbouring minnows SK Drafn he rejoined Strømsgodset in 2000, playing most games in the 2000 1. divisjon. However he only got 2 games in 2001 Tippeligaen and joined Grindvoll IL in 2002. After a miserable start in the 2002 2. divisjon he went on to Larvik Fotball in mid-season. He then played two seasons for IK Birkebeineren.

In 2005, he joined Strømsgodset for a third stint. He only got 4 games in the 2005 1. divisjon, and joined another second-tier club Manglerud Star.

In 2007 he went to fifth-tier Drammens BK where he also was employed as youth coach. In 2009 he became player-coach, this time on the senior level, in fourth-tier Svelvik IF. After that he continued for various Drammen-based clubs.
