Bob Alloo (born May 7, 1949) is an American former professional tennis player.

Alloo, originally from the Pacific coast, was a two-time Kansas AA state champion while at Shawnee Mission East High School. The family moved to Kansas in the mid-1960s when his father, a General Motors Buick manager, was transferred to Kansas City. He had an elder brother Chuck who also played tennis and was on the varsity team at Stanford.[1]

A collegiate player for UC Berkeley, Alloo achieved All-American honors in 1969 and 1970.[2]

Alloo featured in the singles main draw of the 1970 US Open and was beaten in the first round by ex-Berkeley player Jim McManus. He also appeared twice in the US Open men's doubles main draw.[3]
