Alan Morton McCulloch is a New Zealand politician who led the small One New Zealand party and previously served as its president. He was the mayor of East Coast Bays from 1974 to 1983 and later held several roles in the North Shore, including president of Grey Power, and he also stood as a candidate for the mayor of North Shore City.

In 1977 he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal. He has claimed that New Zealand is moving toward racial separatism and opposes what he sees as special treatment for Māori.

McCulloch was considered for the National Party nomination in the 1980 East Coast Bays by-election but did not make the shortlist; Don Brash won the nomination. In the 2002 elections, he was third on the One New Zealand list and contested the East Coast Bays electorate, finishing sixth with 1.7% of the vote. After One New Zealand disbanded, he ran for the Auckland mayoralty in 2010 as an independent.
