Allan George Balding (April 29, 1924 – July 30, 2006) was a Canadian professional golfer, who won four events on the PGA Tour.

[3] Balding enlisted thinking that his small stature would land him in the Service Corps, however he was assigned to the 13th Field Battery of the 2nd Artillery division as a driver-mechanic.

[3] After the war in the late 1940s, Balding worked at a Toronto tire manufacturing company,[4] and later at a golf club in Burlington.

In 1955, Balding became the first Canadian to win a PGA Tour event in the United States, when he won the Mayfair Open.

[9] Balding's career was slowed by several health issues, requiring shoulder surgery in 1965,[9] and being diagnosed with blood cancer in the 1970s.
