Allan Peiper (born 26 April 1960), is a retired Australian professional cyclist and current pro cycling team manager.

At 16 years of age, Peiper (after the World Junior Cycling Championships) in Austria travelled to Ghent, Belgium, to live and race in the daily Kermiskoersen.

Peiper, was a "professional junior" until the middle of 1979, when, following a bout of ill health, he returned to Australia, to recover.

He was helped and mentored, in his recovery by Peter Brotherton a former Olympic cyclist, (who competed in the individual pursuit) for Great Britain.

This earned an invitation to join the famous ACBB amateur cycling team, based in Paris, France, for 1982.

The Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt (ACBB) cycling team, had a ruthless reputation and culture, where riders were expected to win.

Previous English-speaking cyclists (who raced with the team) include Paul Sherwen, Graham Jones, Robert Millar, Phil Anderson, Stephen Roche and Sean Yates.

By the September, Peiper, had won 14 races, including several classics, and the prestigious GP des Nations time trial.

Peiper made his professional cycling debut in the traditional early season races based around the South of France.

This determines the first race leader, and these intense, time trial efforts, were something of a "trade mark" of Peiper.

After three seasons, racing with Peugeot, Peiper joined the Dutch Panasonic team, managed by Peter Post.

He was in the race winning moves at Het Volk,[5] Milan–San Remo,[6] E3 Prijs,[7] Driedaagse de Panne,[8] Ronde van Vlaanderen,[9] Gent–Wevelgem.
