Allen Jung (8 de agosto de 1909 – 12 de septiembre de 1982) fue un actor estadounidense nacido en California de ascendencia asiática, lo cual le permitió desarrollar papeles especializados en personajes japoneses durante los años 30 y 40. Intervino más en episodios de televisión a partir de los años 50 que en películas de cine, aunque se debe recordar su intervención en El guateque de 1968 junto a Peter Sellers.
