Pierre Allais (c. 1700 – January 14, 1781) was a French painter and pastel artist.

He won the first prize for painting at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1726.[1]

He died in Paris in 1781;[2] on March 25, 1782, his widow, Marie-Françoise Ansiaume, was buried in the Saint-Sulpice cemetery.[3]
