Allan Hopkins (24 May 1904 – 2 July 2001) was an Australian rules footballer in the (then) Victorian Football League. He started off his career with Footscray Football Club before they joined the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1925. He had played in the club's 1923 and 1924 premiership sides in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).

A brilliant centreman, he was awarded the Brownlow Medal retrospectively in 1989 for the 1930 season while playing with the Footscray Bulldogs, and won the Bulldogs' best and fairest in 1931.
