James Matthew Allan (born 3 June 1972) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played in 16 first-class matches and one List A match for Otago between the 1993–94 and 1997–98 seasons.[1]

Allan was born at Waimate in Canterbury in 1972.[2] After playing age-group cricket for Canterbury in the 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons, he made his first-class debut for Otago against Northern Districts in December 1993. He scored a half-century on debut in the first innings of the match―the only one he scored in senior cricket. He made his List A debut later the same month and played in five more first-class matches during the season, and six the following season before dropping out of the Otago side for a season.[3]

A single match in 1996–97 and three towards the end of the 1997–98 season saw Allan's representative career come to an end. He played club cricket in England for Portsmouth Cricket Club in the Southern Cricket League in 1998.[3]
