For other people named Denis Allen, see Denis Allen (disambiguation).

Denis Allen (2 January 1896 – 29 March 1961) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician.[1] Allen was an unsuccessful candidate at the June 1927 general election, but later that year at the September 1927 general election he was elected to Dáil Éireann as Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency. He was re-elected at the 1932 general election, but lost his seat at the 1933 general election.[2]

He returned to the 8th Dáil at a by-election on 17 August 1936, following the death of the Fine Gael TD Osmond Esmonde, and returned at each successive election until he retired from politics in 1961.
