Allison Randall (born 25 February 1988) is an American-born[1] Jamaican athlete. She competed for Jamaica in the discus throw at the 2012 Summer Olympics[2] the year after winning a bronze medal at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) games.[3]

Randall was suspended from competition for two years[4] after testing positive for a banned diuretic during a doping test at the Jamaican trials in June 2013. She denied knowingly taking the drug.[5]

At the time of her suspension, Randall held the Jamaican discus record for a throw of 61.21 meters.[6]
