Albert Allard (1860 – May 1, 1941) was a Canadian politician and store owner. He was elected in 1910 as a Member of the House of Commons of Canada for the riding of the City of Ottawa, Ontario, and a member of the Liberal Party. He served for only 1 year, 7 months and 22 days.[2]

Born in Montreal, Canada East, the son of Jean-Baptiste Allard, he was educated at the Notre-Dame School of the Brothers of Christian Schools and came to Ottawa in 1872. He first worked as a grocery clerk, later becoming head of a wholesale grocery company. In 1885, he married Matilde Roberge.[1] Allard was elected to the House of Commons in a 1910 by-election held after Wilfrid Laurier resigned his seat.[2]
