Alan Class Comics was a British comics publishing company between 1959 and 1989, owned by Alan Class (born in London, England, 21 July 1937). The company produced anthology titles, reprinting comics stories from many U.S. publishers of the 1940s to 1960s in a black and white digest size format for a UK audience.

Alan Class initially imported limited numbers of remaindered copies of American movie, romance, and detective magazines for UK distribution. To avoid the cost, supply, and importation difficulties he had encountered, in 1958 he set up a publishing business to produce his own magazines, and entered into an agreement with an American comic and comic strip syndication company for the rights to reproduce U.S. comic strips and titles under their control for a U.K audience.

The various Alan Class black-and-white anthology titles that appeared in the UK from 1959 to 1989 contained reprints of stories ranging from the 1940s to 1960s.
