Ira Shimmin Allison (16 March 1895 – 31 May 1990), was an American geologist best known for studying the US state of Oregon's prehistoric lakes and waterways. He is the namesake for Lake Allison, named because Allison became the first person to identify and correlate Willamette silt soil in 1953 with soils at the former lake bed of Lake Lewis in eastern Washington.
