Robert Thomas Allen (1911–1990) was a Canadian humorist, best known as a two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Award for humour. He won the award in 1957 for The Grass Is Never Greener, and in 1971 for Wives, Children and Other Wild Life. A recurring character in the work of Toronto Star editorial cartoonist Duncan Macpherson, a bespectacled "average Canadian", was originally drawn as a caricature of Allen. Following his retirement, Allen and his family moved to Sun City, California in 1983. He died of a heart attack in San Bernardino in 1990, aged 79.
