Allan Robert Phillips (October 25, 1914 – January 26, 1996) was an American ornithologist. He mainly studied birds in the southwestern United States and Mexico. His most notable work is The Birds of Arizona, co-authored with Joe Marshall and Gale Monson.
Allan, over the span of his almost 65 year career, published a total of 172 articles and various written material. All but one of his works were on birds, while the other one in question was about a mammal. Most of these articles were on the distribution, status, and taxonomy of the birds he studied.
