Allison May Nelson (born c. 1927) and Harry Lee Neal (May 12, 1929 – September 15, 1968) were a duo-piano married couple performing throughout the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. They both taught at the University of Tennessee at Martin (UTM), where Nelson is professor emeritus in piano. They published the Nelson and Neal Piano Study Series (12 books of piano studies) for their children, and a book about their years on the road as traveling performers: Wave As You Pass by Harry Neal, 1958 (now out of print).
