Allan Shanks Lindsay (5 March 1926 – 2 April 2014) was a British athlete who competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics.
Lindsay finished second behind Gordon George Avery in the triple jump event at the 1948 AAA Championships but by virtue of being the highest placed British athlete was considered the British triple jump champion.
Shortly afterwards he represented the Great Britain team at the 1948 Olympic Games in London, where he participated in the men's triple jump competition.
Lindsay represented the Scottish athletics team at the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland, New Zealand and as a member of the Atalanta AC, he could only finish eighth. Later, Lindsay became a triple jump coach.
