Dixie Jean Woods Allen (née Woods; January 27, 1935 – April 1, 2019) was a politician from Dayton, Ohio, who served in the Ohio House of Representatives and on the Montgomery County Commission.

[1] After the resignation of Rep. Lloyd Lewis Jr. in 1998, Allen was chosen as a political newcomer to replace him.

[citation needed] In 2006, Republicans convinced Allen that if she would switch political parties, they would appoint her as a county commissioner.

In the 2006 general election, however, Allen was defeated for a full term by Democrat Judy Dodge, and has since moved back to the Democratic Party.
