Alan James Fitzmorris (born March 21, 1946), is a former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1969 to 1978.

Fitzmorris signed as a non-drafted free agent with the Chicago White Sox in 1966.

In October 1968, he left the White Sox as the 40th overall pick by the Kansas City Royals. Fitzmorris won a career high 16 games for the Royals in 1975. He stayed with the Royals until 1976.

On November 5 of that year, the Toronto Blue Jays picked him up as the 13th pick overall in the expansion draft, although he was almost immediately traded on the same day by Toronto to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for catcher Alan Ashby and INF/OF Doug Howard.

The Indians released him on July 13, 1978, and before a week was out he was signed by the California Angels on July 18.

Granted free agency in November of that year, he signed on with the San Diego Padres in February 1979 retiring at the end of that season at age 33 after playing only with their Triple-A affiliate, the Hawaii Islanders, in the Pacific Coast League.
