Anthony William Allin (born 20 April 1954) is a former English first-class and List A cricketer who played for Glamorgan and Devon.
Allin played all his first-class matches for Glamorgan in 1976. He played List A cricket for Glamorgan, Devon and the Minor Counties. His best first-class innings figures were 8 for 63 in Glamorgan's victory over Sussex. Two weeks later he took his best match figures, 6 for 133 and 5 for 59 against Middlesex, but this time Glamorgan lost.
After one outstanding season for Glamorgan in 1976, Allin decided professional cricket was not for him, and returned to the family dairy farm in Devon.
