Frances Helen Allison (November 20, 1907 – June 13, 1989) was an American television and radio comedian, personality and singer. She is best known for her starring role on the puppet show Kukla, Fran and Ollie, which ran from 1947–1957, occasionally returning to the air until the mid-1980s. The trio also hosted The CBS Children's Film Festival, introducing international children's films, from 1967-1977.

Allison was married to music publisher Archie Levington.

For contributions to the television industry, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6763 Hollywood Boulevard. Additionally, she appeared with puppets Kukla and Ollie on a 44¢ US commemorative postage stamp issued on August 11, 2009.
