Alan Bircher (born 21 September 1981) is a British swimming coach and former long-distance swimmer.

He competed in six world championships between 2001 and 2008[1] and is a former coach of Olympic gold medalist Freya Anderson.

Bircher was criticized for facilitating a body-shaming culture among his preteen and teenage female swimmers.

In 2021, Bircher was blocked from joining Team GB's Tokyo coaching squad.

An independent investigation found 70 complaints about behavior across the Titans coaching staff and led Ellesmere College to shut down the club in 2022.
