There was no overall commander of Allied Forces. Allied efforts were split into regional Theater Commands, with one person being designated Supreme Commander of that specific Theater. The Supreme Commander of each Theater in turn reported to the Combined Chiefs of Staff, which were directly responsible to the US and British governments. While the Combined Chiefs were made up of US and British officers, they coordinated the entire Western Allied war effort, including the military forces of a wide selection of countries.
Soviet Forces operated in a similar manner - there were regional commanders, reporting (nominally) to Stavka, the Soviet Joint Chief's organization. However, Stalin took a much more hands-on role in military strategy than comparable Allied political figures. Soviet and Allied forces, while sharing intelligence and some planning information, operated independently and were never under a unified command structure.

Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The commander of Allied Armies during World War I was Ferdinand Foch. His position gave him responsibility for all British, French and American forces on both the Western and Italian fronts. Erich Ludendorff served as Supreme Commander of the German forces.
During World War II, the Allied Commander in North Africa and then later in Europe was Dwight D. Eisenhower. A career officer who had never seen combat until World War II, Eisenhower's humility, commitment to teamwork, and general strategic "smarts" proved invaluable for the Allied victories which occurred from 1942 onwards in the European Theater of Operations.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander during World War II. This is the common title given to the two Supreme Allied Commanders during World War II. He was not the Supreme Allied Commander for the U.S., per se; hence, the title 'Allied'. Eisenhower's official title actually was Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force (SCAEF), and it was for the forces in northwest Europe. The Second Supreme Allied Commander was for Southeast Asian, and it was called the Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia Command (SACSEA). This post was held for most its existence by Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten.
