Allies is a 1983 live album by Crosby, Stills & Nash which is currently out of print. The album was released on the heels of the popular Daylight Again album. It spawned one live concert clip, "Wasted On The Way", which got some play on MTV and VH1 at the time.

"War Games," written by Stephen Stills, was one of two studio songs on the album. This song was used in initial early trailers for the 1983 film WarGames, and was released concurrently as a single by the group, but their participation in the project was cancelled at the last moment. The single did not feature in the film, although an accompanying MTV video for the song was in rotation on the channel after its release and was comprised solely of scenes from the movie.

The second studio track, "Raise A Voice", by Stills and Nash, now appears on the 2006 re-issue of Daylight Again.
