Alan Webb (born January 13, 1983, in Ann Arbor, Michigan) is an American track athlete.

Webb attended South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia. In 1999, he broke Jim Ryun's high school record for sophomores in the mile run. At the New Balance Games in January of 2001, Webb's mile time of 3:59.86 seconds at New York City’s Armory made him the first American high schooler ever to run a four minute mile indoors. Just four months later on May 27, 2001 at the Prefontaine Classic, Webb ran a mile in 3:53.43 to break Ryun's 36-year-old national high school record.

He followed up his run at Prefontaine by winning the Virginia State High School 800-meter title in 1:47.74 to become the fourth-fastest high schooler ever at the distance.

Webb went on to run for the University of Michigan, but left the Wolverines during his freshman year (June of 2002) to turn professional and be coached again by his high school mentor Scott Raczko, who now coaches at Oakton High School. He now attends George Mason University.

In 2004, Webb won the Olympic Trials at 1,500 meters and went on to represent the United States at the Athens Summer Games. In 2005, he won another national title at 1,500 meters, and made it to the Finals of the World Championships in Helsinki in that event. He also set PRs at every distance from the 1,500 to the 5,000 meters, setting the American record at 2 miles along the way.
