Frederick "Fred" Allen (July 1860 – c. 1926) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football Alliance for Small Heath and in the Southern League for Luton Town.
Allen was born in the Hockley district of Birmingham and played football for Springhill Methodists before joining Small Heath in 1890.[1] He played three times for them in the Football Alliance in the 1891–92 season when Jack Hallam was switched to a more central forward position.[2] Signing for Luton Town in 1892, he was the club's top scorer for the 1893–94 season before retiring in 1895.[3][4] He died in Birmingham in about 1926.[1]
