Alan Lotty (1920–1973) was an Irish hurler who played as a centre-back for the Cork senior team.
Lotty joined the team during the 1939 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1949 championship. During that time he won five All-Ireland medals, five Munster medals and three National League medals. Lotty was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
At club level Lotty was a two-time county club championship runner-up with Sarsfield's.
Lotty played his club hurling with Sarsfield's but enjoyed little success.
In 1940 he lined out in his first championship decider at senior level as a Jack Lynch-driven Glen Rovers aimed to capture a seventh successive championship. In one of the most high-scoring county finals of all-time, Lotty's side were defeated on a 10–6 to 7–5 score line.
It took seven years for Sarsfield's to reach the county decider once again, however, there was defeat for Lotty's side once again. St. Finbarr's were the opponents on that occasion and won the game on a score line of 4–6 to 4–4 after scoring a late goal.
By the time Sarsfield's made their breakthrough in 1951 Lotty had retired from hurling.
Lotty first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team in 1938. He won a Munster medal that year following a remarkable 9–3 to no score victory over Kerry. The subsequent All-Ireland final was also a high-scoring affair. A 7–2 to 5–4 defeat of Dublin gave Lotty an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal.
