W. Allan Percival (1923 – c. 1985) was a Canadian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. As with his exact date of birth being unknown, it is also unknown where in Canada he was born.

Percival made his first-class debut for Canada in 1951 at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club. Later, in 1954 he played four first-class matches against English county opponents during Canada's tour of England. This included his final first-class appearance, which came against Yorkshire at North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough during Canada's 1954 tour of England.[1] In his five career first-class matches, he scored 61 runs at a batting average of 8.71, with a high score of 23. Behind the stumps he took 9 catches and made a single stumping.[2] In Canada, he played numerous non-notable matches, including ones for Ontario between 1948 and 1952.[3]

He died in Toronto, Ontario c. 1985.
