Allan David Dick (1915–1992) was a New Zealand politician of the National Party.
In 1962, he won the 1962 Waitaki by-election, after the sudden death of the Hon. Thomas Hayman, who had held the seat from 1949. He was one of six candidates for the National nomination in this largely rural and safe National seat. He represented the Waitaki electorate to 1969, and then the Oamaru electorate from 1969 to 1972, when he was defeated.
He was awarded the QSO in 1981.
His wife, Betty Dick, wrote a book High Country Family (Reed, Wellington, 1964) about their life on Lilybank Station at the head of Lake Tekapo in the McKenzie Country, and the changes when he became an MP. They had four sons and one daughter.
