Richard Allen (1830–1909) was an African American community and political leader in Houston, Texas. He was elected to the Twelfth Texas Legislature in 1869 and the Thirteenth Legislature in 1873, though his latter win was contested. Allen was active in the Republican Party of Texas and served as a delegate at Texas Republican conventions. In 1878, he was nominated for lieutenant governor of Texas, making him the first African American person to seek statewide office in Texas. Allen co-founded Houston's Emancipation Park in 1872.
