Anthony Derrick Allen (born June 29, 1959 in McComb, Mississippi) is a former professional American football player who played wide receiver for five seasons for the Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins, and San Diego Chargers. He played college football at the University of Washington.

Allen made his professional debut in the United States Football League in 1983.

In his first game as a wide receiver for the Redskins against the St. Louis Cardinals, Allen had eight catches for 255 yards and three touchdowns, which is still a franchise record. That game is not primary remembered for Allen's yardage, however. It is remembered because it was the first game played during the 1987 NFL players' strike. While with the Redskins, Allen won a Super Bowl.

Allen now coaches football at Garfield High School in Seattle, Washington.
