Ramón Allende Padín (19 March 1845 – 14 October 1884), nicknamed El Rojo ("The Red"), was a Chilean physician and political figure.

Allende headed the "Justice and Liberty" Masonic Lodge[2] and was a notorious enemy of the Catholic Church, which excommunicated him.

Allende was elected to the Senate in 1882, and in 1884 he became Masonic Grand Master,[citation needed] but died a few months later, aged 39, from complications of diabetes.

Allende's funeral – at which the public eulogy was delivered by the radical leader Enrique Mac-Iver and two future presidents of Chile, José Manuel Balmaceda and Ramón Barros Luco, carried the coffin – turned into a gigantic political meeting.

On 24 April 1869 Allende married Eugenia Castro del Fierro, with whom he had three sons: Ramón, Tomás and Salvador.
