Alan Clark (born March 5, 1952, in Durham, England) was one of the keyboardists for the British rock band Dire Straits.
Clark joined the band as keyboardist for their fourth studio album, Love over Gold. He continued with Dire Straits until their eventual breakup in the 1990s.
Clark also worked with Mark Knopfler on some of his film soundtrack work, most notably on the film Local Hero, in which he also makes a brief appearance as the piano player for a small Scottish band, the "Acetones".
