Walter Herbert Allcott (1889-1951) was a British artist born in Ladywood in Birmingham. He trained at the Birmingham School of Art from 1897 to 1901. While he began painting oil portraits, he later worked primarily in watercolour and pastel, depicting landscapes and architectural subjects.

He travelled widely, frequently travelling to Italy in the 1920s and therefore his subjects are from all over Europe.
