Mary Aileen Conquest-Allen (December 22, 1888 – September 4, 1950) was an American diver who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics.[1] She was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada.[2]

In 1913, Allen was one of the founding members of an all-woman swimming club at the Bimini Baths in Los Angeles, California, which was formed in response to strict dress codes imposed by other clubs.[3] She was later elected captain of the club.[4]

Allen appeared in silent films. Her most notable role was Mrs. Westfall in the 1916 Metro Pictures release Mister 44. During World War I, she sold war bonds as a representative of Keystone Studios.[5]

In 1920, she finished fourth in the 3 metre springboard event.[2]

During the 1928 Summer Olympics, Allen served as the coach for the United States women's track and field team.[6] She coached the United States women's swim team during the 1932 Summer Olympics.[7]
