John Allen ({{circa}} 1741 – c. 1780s) was a Baptist minister in Colonial America. Although not well-connected with colonial patriots in British North America, he had an enormous impact on re-igniting the tensions within the British Empire in 1772 when he mentioned the Gaspee affair and the Royal Commission of Inquiry seven times in his Thanksgiving Day sermon at Second Baptist Church in Boston. His sermon "An Oration, Upon the Beauties of Liberty, Or the Essential Rights of the Americans," was reprinted seven times in four different cities, making it one of the most popular pre-independence pamphlets in British America.
