Thomas J. Allan (1940-1966) was a British radio engineer who died in Antarctica.

Allan was a radio engineer for the British Antarctic Survey at Stonington Island in 1965-1966. He died in May 1966, in a sledging accident, along with John Fraser Noel, near what was subsequently named Tragic Corner off Marguerite Island.[1]

Mount Allan in Antarctica, one of the Traverse Mountains, is named in his memory.[1]
