Don Carlos Allado (born June 10, 1979) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the Meralco Bolts in the Philippine Basketball Association.

He started out his amateur career playing for De La Salle University in 1996 and he played for the Green Archers and is known as "The King Archer." He was the Most Valuable Player in his 3rd year after the elimination rounds in the 1998-1999 season and also the finals Most Valuable Player. He did it again the next season and captured the elimination rounds Most Valuable Player and the finals Most Valuable Player awards for the 1999-2000 season. They were known as the millennium champions. Don has been part of the mythical five teams since his sophomore year until his 4th year. Also he played for all the UAAP All Star teams. De La Salle University has not won the crown in well over 8 years Don was a key player.

He played in the Philippine Basketball League under Wilkins Distilled Water in 1998 for 1 conference until it disbanded. Welcoat Paints immediately picked up the talented power forward and won the first ever championship in franchise history. He was also named season MVP and finals MVP for the 1999-2000 season. He was also named into the mythical team for 2 years in a row.

He was a direct hire in 1999 by the Alaska Aces together with the likes of Asi Taulava and Eric Menk. After playing seven solid years with Alaska, in December 2006, he was shipped to the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals for Willie Miller and John Ferriols.^[1] Allado was again traded by the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters for Ranidel de Ocampo to the Air21 Express. He wasn't satisfied with the situation he was in so after one season with Air21, he requested to be sent immediately to the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants.
