Van Leigh Tiffin (born August 3, 1988 in Muscle Shoals, Alabama) is a senior place kicker for the Alabama Crimson Tide football program.
Tiffin, who wears number 99, got his chance to kick as a freshman following a groin injury to starting kicker Jamie Christensen. Tiffin was a hero, kicking the game-winning 47–yard field goal, in Alabama's 13–10 win over Vanderbilt on September 9, 2006. However, two weeks later against Arkansas, he would miss three field goals in a 24–23 overtime loss. Christensen returned to the role the following week against Florida and except for two extra points against Florida International. Tiffin would be benched for the remainder of the season.
