Alan Lotty (15 July 1920 – 10 February 1973) was an Irish hurler who played for Cork Championship club Sarsfields.
He played for the Cork senior hurling team for 10 years, during which time he usually lined out as a corner-back or as a wing-back.
At inter-county level, Lotty was part of the successful Cork minor team that won the All-Ireland Championship in 1938.
From his debut, Lotty was ever-present as a corner-back or wing-back and made 30 Championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 1949.
After making a winning hurling debut against Limerick on 22 May 1938, he later collected a Munster Championship medal after a 9-03 to no score victory over Kerry in the final.
On 3 September 1939, he replaced Paddy O'Donovan at right corner-back when Cork suffered a 2-07 to 3-03 defeat by Kilkenny in the "thunder and Lightning" All-Ireland final.
[4] Lotty ended the season by lining out in Cork's 5-04 to 2-05 defeat by Tipperary in the delayed Munster final.
[5] Lotty lined out in a fourth successive Munster final - coming on as a substitute - the following year, with Cork claiming the title after a 4-15 to 4-01 defeat of Tipperary.
[9][10] After failing to secure a fifth successive title in 1945, Lotty won a fifth provincial championship winners' medal after lining out at centre-back in the 3-08 to 1-03 defeat of Limerick in the 1946 Munster final.
Lotty missed Cork's opening game of the 1947 Munster Championship but claimed a sixth winners' medal after being restored to centre-back for the 2-06 to 2-03 defeat of Limerick in the final.
A defeat by Tipperary in the 1949 Munster Championship brought the curtain down on Lotty's inter-county career.
He made his debut with the province in 1941, however, Munster faced a one-point defeat by Leinster in the final.
On 10 February 1973, Lotty died at St. Finbarr's Hospital in Cork after suffering a severe heart attack a week earlier.
Lotty was the second member of the Cork four-in-a-row team to die, the first being full-back Batt Thornhill in 1970, and many of the surviving players were in attendance, including a representative of the Taoiseach.
