Jim Allin (born March 14, 1986) is a Canadian former football defensive back and kick returner.[1] He went undrafted in the 2009 CFL draft. He played CIS football for the Queen's Golden Gaels.

In the 2008 CIS football season, Allin was named to the CIS All-Canadian first team as a kick returner and to both the Ontario University Athletics first and second all-star teams; the first as a returner and the second as a cornerback. He performed the best among defensive backs in three of the athletic tests at the 2009 CFL Evaluation Camp including setting a record for the 20-yard shuttle test with a time of 3.97 seconds.[2][3][4]

In August 2016, in ceremonies in Canada and Australia, Jim married Tegan Hamilton.[5] He was inducted into the Queen's Golden Gaels Hall of Fame in 2021.[6]
