Allen Siple (1900-1973) was an American architect, working in Southern California from the 1930s to 1960s.

Allen George Siple was born on July 9, 1900 in Otsego, Michigan. His father, George H. Siple, was Canadian and his mother, Jessie, was from Michigan. In 1924, his father retired to Southern California and they moved into a house located at 972 Arapahoe Street, Los Angeles, California. He graduated from the University of Southern California and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France.

In Los Angeles, Siple worked as an architect for the Janss Investment Company. They were developing the community of Westwood in western Los Angeles.

In 1930, Siple designed the W. R. Balsom, Jr., House in Westwood Hills. In 1932, he designed "The Grove," also known as the "Grove Bungalow Court," located at 10669-10683 Santa Monica Boulevard in Westwood, Los Angeles. In 1940, Edla Muir (1906-1971) added two rear cottages. The property became a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1987. In 1935, he designed the residence of actress Jane Withers (b. 1926) in Westwood Hills. He designed the private residence of actor and producer Jack Conway (1887-1952) and his wife Virginia at "All Hollows Farm" in Pacific Palisades, California. The house was called All Hollows Farm. After Jack Conway's death in 1952, Debbie Reynolds (born 1932) and Eddie Fisher (1928-2010) purchased the property.
