Allan Havey (born September 19, 1954) is an American stand-up comic and actor. He started his career as a comedian in New York City in 1981. He made his national debut in 1986 on "Late Night with David Letterman" and made several appearances on the show throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

In November 1989 he was chosen by HBO host his own show on The Comedy Channel, which later became Comedy Central. His show, "Night After Night with Allan Havey", which ran for three hours nightly, presented clips of various comedy films and stand-up comedians (as was the standard format for the channel), with Havey providing introductions and intermittent commentary. It became a cult classic among fans. The show also featured an "audience of one", a "viewer mail" segment, and announcer Nick Bakay, who left the show to perform the same role on "The Dennis Miller Show" and would eventually return after that show's cancellation in 1992. "Night After Night" ran for three years and was finally cancelled in December 1992.

Since then, in addition to a few minor film roles, Havey has done two performances on HBO's "One Night Stand", and has appeared in episodes of "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

In 2004, he was cast as a field agent on the MTV Hidden camera show "Punk'd".

As of 2006, Havey is a cast member of the Fox sitcom "Free Ride", where he plays Bob Stahlings, father of the main character Nate Stahlings.
