Helen Edith Allan (née Miller) (1915 - 1972) was a New Zealand Test cricketer. She played for New Zealand as Helen Miller in 1935.

Allan was born in East Taieri, near Dunedin, New Zealand, to orchardists Alexander and Edith Miller and attended Otago Girls' High School. She was a fast bowler, and played for the New Zealand women's cricket team against England in 1935, however a knee injury ended her sporting career.

Allan studied geology at the University of Otago, however following her marriage to Eric Allan in 1939 she withdrew from her studies. The couple moved to Hamilton in 1948, and Allan later completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Waikato and University of Auckland. She went on to teach geography and French and became head of the French department at Sacred Heart College, Auckland.
