Deborah Allen (b. Deborah Lynn Thurmond, 1953, in Memphis, Tennessee) is a country music singer.

She followed the typical Nashville tradition of moving there to work as a singer, but instead working as a waitress. Fate intervened when she had Roy Orbison as a customer at IHOP whom she convinced to hire her as a backup singer. She also worked as a singer and dancer at Opryland USA where she was seen and hired by singer Jim Stafford.
