Allen Spraggett (born 1932) is a Canadian writer and broadcaster, known for his works concerning the paranormal.

During the 1950s, Spraggett was originally a minister of the Open Door Evangelical Church. He transferred to the United Church of Canada to briefly become a minister there, before working as the religion editor of Toronto Star. In the 1970s, he wrote The Unexplained, a syndicated newspaper column concerning the paranormal.

Spraggett was host of the CBC television quiz show Beyond Reason from 1977 to 1980. He also hosted the radio shows Sun Spots and The Unexplained on CFRB in Toronto.

In 1979, he was charged with two counts of gross indecency, based on allegations by youths from Winnipeg. Spraggett was acquitted of these charges in April 1980. However, he had difficulty in resuming his broadcasting and writing career after that trial.
