アルバート・キング（Albert King, 1923年4月25日 - 1992年12月21日）はアメリカ合衆国ミシシッピ州インディアノーラ出身のブルース・ギタリスト、シンガー。本名はアルバート・ネルソン。B.B.キング、フレディ・キングと並び、ブルース・ギタリストの3大キングと称される。（血縁関係はない） 左利き（サウスポー）の彼は、右利き用に弦を張ったギターを逆に持って弾いていた。さらにチョーキングをしやすいように弦は低めに張り、かつチューニングは変則的だった。 2011年、「」に於いて第13位に選ばれている。チョーキングを多用した彼のシンプルかつ豪快なプレイは、ブルース界のみならず、エリック・クラプトン、ジミ・ヘンドリックスらロック・ギタリストにも多大な影響を与えた。
