Allison Lynn Reed (born June 8, 1994) is an American ice dancer. She currently competes with Vasili Rogov for Israel. From 2009 to 2011, she competed with Otar Japaridze for Georgia.
Allison Reed was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to a Japanese mother and American father. She is the younger sister of Cathy and Chris Reed, who compete for Japan. She attended Warren Middle School and Watchung Hills Regional High School. She received a Georgian passport in January 2010.
Reed started skating at the age of three. Originally a singles skater, she teamed up with her first ice dancing partner, Georgia's Otar Japaridze, in May 2009. They trained in Mount Laurel, New Jersey with coach and choreographer Evgeni Platov. They qualified an entry for Georgia at the 2010 Winter Olympics at the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy. Reed and Japaridze split following the 2010–11 season.
In 2012, Reed teamed up with Vasili Rogov to compete for Israel. They withdrew from the 2013 European Championships after Rogov fell ill. They competed at the 2013 World Championships and finished 23rd. They dropped down to 30th at the 2014 World Championships, but moved up to 20th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, advancing to the Free Skate for the first time at the World Championships. Reed and Vogov announced the end of their partnership on June 24, 2015.
