Alan McCormack (born 10 January 1984, in Dublin, Republic of Ireland) is an Irish professional footballer who currently plays as midfielder for Charlton Athletic
McCormack was born in Dublin. He came through the youth ranks at Preston North End, but made his professional debut while on loan at Leyton Orient on 30 August 2003. McCormack finally made his Preston North End debut on 6 March 2004 against Burnley.
In 2005 he had a loan spell at Southend United and the whole of the 2005–06 season with Motherwell.
McCormack then went back on loan to Southend on 18 November 2006, with a view to a permanent move. After impressing in his second loan spell at Southend, in which he played five games and scored one goal, assistant manager Paul Brush confirmed on 11 December 2006 that McCormack would be making his move to Southend permanent.

McCormack took an innocuous knock on his knee during 2008/09 pre season which later required surgery and would keep the Irishman out of action for 8 weeks. He returned from injury early to come off the bench against Leyton Orient on 2 September 2008.
McCormack scored his first goal of the season against Scunthorpe United on 24 February 2009 in a 2-0 win. His only other goal of the season came in a 3-0 win against Carlisle United on 21 March with a long range strike.
