The "Dig" Allen, Space Explorer series consisted of six juvenile science fiction books written in the late 1950s and early 1960s by Joseph Greene, the originator of the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet television show.

Like Green's earlier creation, the "Dig" Allen books featured the adventures of adolescent boy heroes on various planets in the Solar System. The hero of the series is Digby "Dig" Allen, and the plots center around the asteroid Eros, which is discovered to be an immense alien spaceship. From here Dig Allen goes to the various planets of the Solar System in each of the books of the series.

The "Dig" Allen books were:

  1. The Forgotten Star (1959)
  2. Captives in Space (1960)
  3. Journey to Jupiter (1961)
  4. Trappers of Venus (1961)
  5. Robots of Saturn (1962)
  6. Lost City of Uranus (1962)
