Alan III of Rennes (997 – 1 October 1040) was duke of Brittany, from 1008 to his death. He was son of Duke Geoffrey I and Hawise of Normandy. Because he was still a minor at his father's death, his mother acted as regent.[1] Alan married Bertha, daughter of Odo II, Count of Blois and had at least two children: Conan II, his successor, and Hawise of Brittany, who married Hoel of Cornouaille.

Alan III was poisoned.
