Louis Allmendinger, AIA (September 15, 1878 – October 7, 1937) was an American architect practicing in New York City in the early twentieth century.

Two of his designs are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord (1916–1921) in Brooklyn, New York, and the art deco J. Kurtz and Sons Store Building (1931) in Queens.[1][2]

Allmendinger was born in Brooklyn to German emigrant parents, Adam, a beer brewer from Baden-Württemberg, and Dorothea Scharf, from Bavaria. He studied architecture at Cooper Union College.[3]

He died of a cerebral embolism in 1937 at Brunswick Hospital on Long Island. He was survived by his wife, Marie Heins, and son, Louis William Allmendinger.[3]
