Lieutenant-Colonel Allen Whitty, DSO (5 May 1867 – 22 July 1949) was a British Army officer and sport shooter who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics representing Great Britain.

After the outbreak of the Second Boer War in late 1899, several regiments of the army were augmented to increase the overall number of available soldiers.

Whitty was commissioned a quartermaster with the honorary rank of lieutenant in the new 3rd battalion of his regiment on 17 March 1900.

At the 1924 Olympics, Whitty only competed in the running deer, double shot, events, and after finishing in 18th place individually, he won a gold medal as a member of the team that defeated Norway by single point.
