Roy Allen (March 27, 1901 - 2001) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Allen made just two senior appearances with Collingwood, a win over Melbourne at the MCG and a loss to South Melbourne at Lake Oval.

He later returned to the league as a goal umpire and also officiated briefly as a boundary and field umpire. One of just a few VFL footballers to have lived to 100, Allen goal umpired both the 1950 and 1953 VFL Grand Finals, 208 matches in total. The most notable of those came in 1951 when he controversially reported Essendon full-forward John Coleman and caused him to miss the Grand Final.
