Alison Brown (born 21 September 1997) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Melbourne in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). She was recruited by Carlton as a free agent following the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[1] She made her debut in Round 1, 2017, in the club and the league's inaugural match at Ikon Park against Collingwood.[2] Brown finished 2017 having played in all seven possible matches with Carlton.[3] She was subsequently delisted at season's end.[4] On 29 January 2019, Brown was announced as the first AFLW signing for the St Kilda Football Club Women's Team,[5] who officially entered the AFL Women's competition in 2020.[6] In March 2021, St Kilda announced they delisted Brown after playing 11 matches for the club.[7] In the 2021 AFL Women's draft, Melbourne drafted her with the 45th pick after she played 12 games for Casey Demons in the VFL Women's.[8] She was educated at Caulfield Grammar School. In December 2022, Brown was delisted by Melbourne.[9]
