Graham Allner (born 7 September 1949) is a retired British footballer and football manager.
He was manager of Kidderminster Harriers from 1983 until 1998, winning the Football League Trophy in 1987 and the Conference Premier championship in 1995.
Allner was born in Birmingham, England.
Allner started his playing career as a schoolboy at Birmingham City before signing amateur forms at Walsall playing reserve football. After being released he drifted into non-league football, firstly at Paget Rangers, where he won the Midland Combination under the guidance of manager Rhys Davies. Allner had a trial with Aston Villa during the 1970–71 season. He then rejoined Davies at Alvechurch, winning another Midland Combination title in 1971-72. During that season Allner played in all 6 FA Cup games against Oxford City. Two years later he scored the winning goal against Exeter City in the FA Cup before eventually being knocked out by Bradford City. A trial at Hereford United followed in 1974 before signing for Stourbridge in September 1974 under Allan Grundy. He only spent a season at Stourbridge before moving to Redditch United, then quickly moving on to Bromsgrove Rovers.
He joined Stafford Rangers in 1976, spending two seasons with them. He joined Worcester City in 1978; in his first season they won the Southern Football League but injury sidelined him for most of the first Alliance Premier League season.
