List of AHL head coaches

The American Hockey League (AHL) is a professional ice hockey league composed of 32 teams, founded in 1936. Each team is entitled to one head coach who handles the directing of games and team practices, while providing direction and strategy for their players and deciding which players will play in games and the lines they will play on. In some cases, a coach will only serve on an interim basis, while some teams may have more than one coach who serve as co-coaches. Outside the team management, the coach also addresses the media.

Brent Thompson has been head coach of the Bridgeport Islanders since 2011. He is currently the longest tenured coach in the AHL.
