Vincent Allard (; 18 December 1921 – 22 January 1994) was a Belgian entomologist.
Born at Braine l'Alleud, south Brussels, Vincent Allard received his medical studies in France where he obtained several degrees from the University of Paris and Institut Pasteur in 1947 and 1948. In 1949 he was in the United States where he studied fungal diseases at the Harvard Medical School. Then he lived in Zaïre where he developed laboratories and was professor of histology general until 1975.
He published several books and many works on Coleoptera. He had a very large collection of beetles, all accurately named.
