Allen McCarley (5 December 1914 — 25 July 1963) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
McCarley was born in Port Talbot, where he attended Central School.[1]
An Aberavon wing-forward, McCarley gained three Wales caps in the 1938 Home Nations. He scored try on debut against England at Cardiff, dodging past fullback Hubert Freakes and then outpacing several backs in a 30-yard sprint, helping Wales secure a 14–8 win.[2] His next match against Scotland at Murrayfield brought him another two tries, this time in a losing cause. He continued to play for Aberavon after the war.[3]
