Alloway is a locality in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia.
Alloway is flat land about 30 metres above sea level used for farming, predominantly the growing of sugarcane. The Elliott River comprises the southern boundary of the locality. The North Coast railway line passed through the locality from south to north with the locality served by the Elliott railway station.
The name Alloway is taking from the railway siding, which was in turned named after Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland (the birthplace of Robert Burns) on 8 July 1939 by the Queensland Railways Department.
