The Allan Hills are group of hills at the end of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in Oates Land and Victoria Land regions of Antarctica. They are mainly ice free and about {{convert|12|nmi|km}} long, lying just north-west of the Coombs Hills near the heads of Mawson Glacier and Mackay Glacier. They were mapped by the New Zealand party (1957–58) of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition and named for Professor R. S. Allan of the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Numerous meteorites have been discovered in these hills. Amongst them is the meteorite Allan Hills 84001 which is said to originate from Mars. It has been claimed this meteorite contains evidence of Martian life in the form of micro-organisms. See also
