Vance Michael McAllister Sr. (born January 7, 1974) is an American businessman and Republican former member of the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 5th congressional district. He won a special runoff election held on November 16, 2013, for the seat vacated by fellow Republican Rodney Alexander.

On April 8, 2014, the day after a information about an affair was posted, McAllister said that he planned to run for re-election.[1] On April 28, 2014, he announced that he would serve out his term and not run for re-election.[2][3] However, he later changed his mind and ran for re-election, for a full term.[4] He did not survive the "top two" primary, receiving 11.1 percent of the vote, and so was not in the runoff election on December 6.
