Keith Allan, FAHA (born 27 March 1943)^[1] is an Australian linguist and Emeritus Professor at Monash University.

Allan sees language as a form of social interactive behaviour and believes this to be an important consideration in any thorough account of meaning in natural language. While he is interested in all aspects of meaning in language, his main interests are semantics, pragmatics, linguistic meta-theory and the history and philosophy of linguistics.
