Allegany County er et county i den nordvestlige del af delstaten Maryland i USA med en befolkning i 2000 på 74.930. Hovedbyen er Cumberland. Navnet Allegany kommer fra et lokalt oprindeligt amerikansk ord, oolikhanna, som betyder "smukt vandløb." Et antal counties i bjergområdet Appalacherne i USA kaldes Allegany, Allegheny eller Alleghany.

Den vestlige del af Maryland (heriblandt det nuværende Allegany County) samledes i Prince George's County i 1696. Ved gentagne opsplitninger af dette, dannedes nye: Frederick i 1748 og Montgomery og Washington fra Frederick County i 1776.[1]

Allegany County dannedes i 1789 ved opdeling af Washington County. På det tidspunkt var det Marylands vestligste county, men en senere opdeling i 1872 dannede Garrett County, som nu er det vestligste.

Allegany County fik hjemmestyre i 1974.

Ifølge den officielle opgørelse har Allegany County et samlet areal på 1.113 km², hvoraf 11 km² (1,02%) er vand.
