Reginald Charles Allen (born July 2, 1858 in Sydney; died May 2, 1952 in Sydney) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test match against England in 1886-87.
Allen also played for New South Wales and was top scorer in the first innings of the state match against the England team – under the name "A. Shaw's XI" – that immediately preceded the second Test.
He batted at No 3 in his only Test, scored 14 and 30, and took two catches. In his second innings, he was caught by one of his own side, Charlie Turner, who was fielding as a substitute for England. His obituary in Wisden in 1953 says that he turned down the opportunity to tour England.
He was the uncle of the England Test captain Gubby Allen, who was born in Australia.
