Allens Cross is an electoral ward of Birmingham City Council in the south west of Birmingham, West Midlands, covering an urban area to the west of Northfield shopping centre.

The ward was gained by Jack Deakin of The Labour Party in May 2022 by a slim majority of 14 votes from Eddie Freeman, the sitting Conservative councillor.
