Alan Donagan (10 February 1925 – 29 May 1991) was an Australian/American philosopher,^[1] distinguished for his theories on the history of philosophy and the nature of morality.

He attended the University of Melbourne and was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago.^[2]

He is most well known for his book The Theory of Morality (1977) where he tries to argue for the common morality of the Hebrew-Christian traditions which Thomas Aquinas and Immanuel Kant shared.^[3] Unlike many of his contemporaries, he was deeply committed to the history of law and ethics which led him to conceptual issues that arise out of practical reflections on moral and juridical issues.

In reviewing Donagan's Philosophical Papers D. W. Hamlyn wrote, "the papers which make up the final two thirds of the second volume of this compilation clearly reveal Donagan’s claim to being a major twentieth century philosopher.”^[4] Volume 104, No.1 of The Journal Ethics was dedicated in honor of his philosophy.^[5]
