Allaman is a municipality in the district of Rolle in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

The village is famous for the medieval Château d'Allaman, built by the Count of Vaud in 1253.

The wealthy Genevan philanthropist Jean-Jacques de Sellon, who owned the property until 1839, gave accommodation at the castle to, amongst many others, such political refugees as Napoleon's brother Joseph Bonaparte, Joséphine de Beauharnais, the Duke of Bassano, and Camille Cavour, as well as to Franz Liszt and George Sand. In 1820 de Sellon founded the Society of Peace, forerunner of the League of Nations and the United Nations Organization (UNO).
