Ted Allan (January 26, 1916 — June 29, 1995) was a Jewish Canadian writer, several of whose books were made into motion pictures.
Ted Allan was born in Montreal as Alan Herman. In the 1930s he fought against fascism in Spanish Civil War, along with another Canadian, Norman Bethune. Later, in 1952 Allan and Sydney Gordon published Bethune's biography, The Scalpel, The Sword. He fought for many years to have film made about Bethune; it was finally accomplished in the early 1990s.
