Alloway (gaeliska Allmhaigh) är en tidigare skotsk by som nu är en förort till Ayr. Den är bäst känd som den plats där Robert Burns föddes och där hans dikt utspelas. Den gamla byn och dess omgivning införlivades med det dåvarande "Royal Burgh of Ayr" år 1935, och det utvidgade byområdet är nu en förort till Ayr vid floden Doon.
