Johnnie Allan (* 10. March 1938 in Rayne , Louisiana as John Allen Guillot ) is an American Cajun - and rock 'n' roll musician.

Allan joined Lawrence Walker's band as a steel guitarist in his teens and then founded the Krazy Kats together with pianist and fiddle player UJ Meaux . Allan had some success with rock 'n' roll and R&B pieces since the late 1950s.
