Allen Aaron Cook (1832-?), usually known as A. A. Cook, was an American architect who came to Sacramento, California in 1870. He designed numerous buildings around the state, including a number which are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places for their architecture.

He was born April 20, 1832 in Chenango County, New York. His parents moved to Albany, New York in that year, which is where A.A. grew up and attended school.

He married in 1870 to Miss M. Midler of Chicago; the family had four children.
