Allan Frederick Lawrence (born November 8 1925) is a retired Canadian politician.

After practicing as a lawyer, Lawrence entered politics winning a 1958 provincial by-election in the downton Toronto riding of St. George for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. In 1968 Premier John Robarts brought him into cabinet as Minister of MInes.

In 1971 he ran for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party losing to Bill Davis by 44 votes on the fourth ballot. Davis reunited the Tory party by inviting many of Lawrence's key workers, including John Tory and Norman K. Atkins, onto his team creating the Big Blue Machine that helped the Tories remain in power for a further fourteen years.

Davis made Lawrence his Attorney-General but, in 1972, he resigned his seat in the Ontario legislature in order to enter federal politics winning a seat for the rural Ontario riding of Northumberland-Durham in the Canadian House of Commons in the 1972 Canadian election. He served as a Progressive Conservative MP throughout the decade. When the Tories won the 1979 Canadian election Prime MInister, Joe Clark, put Lawrence in the Cabinet as Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs and Solicitor-General. The Clark government fell in a Motion of No Confidence after several months and was defeated in the 1980 Canadian election with Lawrence returning to the Opposition benches.

He ran again in the 1984 Canadian election but, despite the Conservative victory that year, was passed over for a Cabinet appointment by Brian Mulroney. Lawerence retired from politics at the 1988 Canadian election.
