Peter John Allan (born 31 December 1935, Brisbane, Queensland) is a former Australian cricketer who played in one Test, the First Test at Brisbane in the 1965-66 Ashes series. He was dropped in favour of Alan Connolly in the Second Test, but was recalled for the Fourth Test after taking 10/61 in the first innings for Queensland vs Victoria in January 1966, the third best figures recorded on Australian soil. He was injured before the Test and his replacement Garth McKenzie took 6/48 as Australia won by an innings.
On 14 July 2000, Allan was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his cricketing achievements.[1]
