Jan Alleman is an Afrikaans expression referring to the common man.

Sometimes also used as an Afrikaans translation for Everyman.

Not to be confused with the French word "Allemand".

A number of theatre and film texts have used the term in their titles, including:

Jan Alleman van Suiderland

Jan Alleman en die Saboteurs

The term has also been used as the name of a character in some works, e.g. the play Putsonderwater by Bartho Smit]],
