Leonard Hector Allum (1907 – 1980) was an English midfielder who made over 100 appearances for Chelsea over seven seasons immediately prior to the Second World War. A native of Reading, Allum joined Chelsea ahead of the 1932-33 season from local Berkshire side Maidenhead United. He made his debut the following October against Blackpool. Primarily a right-sided half back, he also played as an inside forward on occasion during his debut season.
