Alan Bray (13 October 1948 - 25 November 2001) was a British historian and gay rights activist. He was a Roman Catholic and had a particular interest in Christian attitudes to homosexuality.
Alan Bray has been commemorated in a series of Alan Bray Memorial Lectures and the Alan Bray Memorial Book Award.
British historians Michael Hunter, Miri Rubin, and Laura Gowing have co-edited the book Love, Friendship and Faith in Europe, 1300-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), which is a collection of essays inspired by Bray's idea of finding some universal component of homosexuality within the experiences of intimacy and friendship without "locating a discourse that identifies persons as homosexual".
