Bradley James Allen (born Romford, United Kingdom 13 September 1971) is a former English professional football player. Allen is the younger son of Les Allen and brother of Clive Allen and was a small and skillful type of striker, who scored goals at all levels of the English domestic league.

Allen made his debut as a teenager for QPR and scored a number of important goals including a hat-trick at Goodison Park as QPR ran out 3-0 winners.

Allen was transferred to Charlton Athletic and then Grimsby Town. When he first joined Grimsby Town he was used mainly as a substitute, but after the sale of Jack Lester and Lee Ashcroft he formed fruitful partnerships with David Nielsen, Steve Livingstone and Michael Boulding. Unfortunately his time at Grimsby was frequently interrupted with injuries and the arrival of Lennie Lawrence saw his first team chances much reduced.

After Allen left Grimsby he played for Peterborough United[1] and Bristol Rovers.[2] He left Rovers at the end of the 2002-03 and had trials with a number of teams before joining Hornchurch in September 2003.[3]. However, Hornchurch found themselves in financial turmoil and Allen was released and joined Redbridge towards the end of the 2003-04 season. He was released by Redbridge in July 2004,[4] and was reported to be on trial with Billericay Town later that month.[5]

Allen is currently the under-14s coach at Tottenham Hotspur.
