Arthur Macdonald "Donald" Allchin (20 April 1930 – 23 December 2010), published as A. M. Allchin, was a British Anglican priest and theologian. He was librarian of Pusey House, Oxford from 1960 to 1969, a residentiary canon of Canterbury Cathedral from 1973 to 1987, and programme director of the St Theosevia Centre for Christian Spirituality in Oxford from 1987 to 1996.
Allchin was born on 20 April 1930 in London, England, the third and youngest son of Dr Frank Macdonald Allchin (1891–1977) and his wife Louise Maude Allchin, née Wright (1889–1978). One of his siblings was the archaeologist Raymond Allchin. He was educated at Westminster School, then an all-boys public school in London. He then studied modern history at Christ Church, Oxford, and he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1951. As per tradition, his BA degree was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA Oxon) in 1955. In 1954, he matriculated into Cuddesdon College, an Anglo-Catholic theological college near Oxford, to train for Holy Orders. During this time, he also studied theology at Christ Church, Oxford, completing a Bachelor of Letters (BLitt) degree in 1956.
Due to his reputation as a theologian and for his involvement in Anglican-Orthodox relations, Allchin was awarded a number of honorary Doctor of Divinity (DD) degrees: by the Bucharest Theological Institute in 1977, by Nashotah House in 1985, by Aarhus University in 1992, and by the University of Wales in 1993. He was awarded a Lambeth DD in 2006.
