Aloysius Philip Schwartz (September 18, 1930 – March 16, 1992), known as Father Al, was an American Catholic priest who ran social service programs for thousands of orphans in South Korea, the Philippines and Mexico.

Starting with few financial resources, he founded the Sisters of Mary of Banneux and the Brothers of Christ religious orders in South Korea and established numerous homes and schools for orphaned or neglected children. He was declared venerable by Pope Francis.
