Tom Allen (born 18 April 1930) is a former Australian rules footballer. He played in the VFL with the Richmond Football Club from 1949 to 1952.

In his debut game against North Melbourne he kicked 12 behinds. This set a record for most behinds in a game without a goal. The record was later equalled by Stuart Spencer of the Demons.

Allen went on to coach a number of teams, finally coaching Richmond's Fourths, the Essex Heights Under 17s, from 1965 to 1980. Under his guidance Essex Heights won premierships in 1973, 1975, 1976, 1978 and 1979. He was coach of Victoria at the 1975 Australian Schoolboys' Championships.
