Allan John Greenshields (22 January 1926 โ 28 June 2016) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and St Kilda in the VFL.

He was a reserve in Carlton's 1947 premiership team but did not take the field during the game, and was a reserve in all but three of his games while with Carlton. Greenshields played more when he crossed to St Kilda, being used mainly as a half back flanker.
