Alan Charles Wilder（出生于1959年6月1日）是一名英国音乐家，著名英国另类摇滚乐队Depeche Mode前任成员，在队里主要承担乐手和制作人。他现在自主创建的音乐团队名叫Recoil，是在DM时期创建的子团队。当他在1995年离开DM之后，Recoil正式成为Alan的主要事业。Wilder此后也为乐队Nitzer Ebb和curve制作混音及部分创作。Alan Wilder小时候受古典音乐的熏陶并且因当代音乐制作人的身份而著名。

Alan出生在伦敦西部阿克顿的一个中产家庭里。受他父母的鼓励，他八岁开始学习钢琴。此后，他在St Clement Danes Grammar学校学习长笛并在学校里的乐队成为带头音乐家。他在学校期间音乐上受打击乐手曾卓 Ing的影响，之后Alan便和Ted一起创建了乐队Cloaca。毕业后，Alan在DJM Studios做助理工作。

Alan在1982年到1995年间一直在乐队Depeche Mode担任键盘手并全权参与乐队歌曲的各种复杂编曲工作。此期间，Alan也在纪录片101中展示了不同的合成器部分歌曲的分离和安排抽样在他们巡演期间如何进行的。有趣的是，在DM创建初期由于成员Vince Clarke的离开，乐队不得不广告招募新成员作为键盘手，Alan在面试时谎报了自己的年龄（乐队要求成员低于21岁，而那时Alan已经22岁了），可之后因为无可否认的才华，Alan成功逃脱了这一问题。之后1995年因为与乐队成员观念冲突，Alan在他36岁生日的时候宣布离开乐队Depeche Mode。有消息称Alan离开的原因是因为乐队成员在此期间Dave吸毒成瘾，Andrew一度因精神问题离队修养（Andrew在巡演的最后39场演出均未出现），这让Alan在面对全世界成千上万的歌迷面前不得不承受巨大的压力。更有消息称，在巡演的某一场开场前两天，巡演的编曲准备工作还离Alan的构想相差甚远，Alan不得不自己再重新编排所有歌曲的创作。Alan在后台与Dave大吵一架后宣布离开乐队。（不过rumor,看看就好...不过也能解释一部分原因。）
