The Albert Park Football Club (historically styled as Albert-park) was a 19th-century Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Albert Park. The club was one of the main first-rate senior football clubs during the unaffiliated era of Victorian football.
Albert Park was a founding senior member of the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1877, before amalgamating with neighbouring South Melbourne (now known as Sydney) in 1880.
A newer, unrelated club called the Albert Park Football Club currently competes in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).
