Ernest Allen (June 24, 1880 — May 28, 1943) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire. He was born in Holme and died in Wedderburn.

Allen's debut came against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia during a two-month long English tour by the team. Allen made a steady first-innings total, and backed this up in the second innings, though others near him in the batting order tended to outscore him - including England Test cricketer John Gunn.
