Allet is a hamlet to the north of Truro in Cornwall. It is to be found just a mile to the north-west of Shortlanesend, with which it shares a civil parish ("Shortlanesend and Allet"), both standing beside the B3284 Truro to Chiverton Cross road.

The name of this place was recorded as Aled in 1284.

The Cornwall Wildlife Trust has its headquarters at Allet, with its offices adjacent to the Trust's 'Five Acres' nature reserve. This reserve includes two ponds, as well as mixed broadleaved woodland.
