Albert Gardiner (30 July 1867 – 14 August 1952) was an Australian Labor Party politician. He held the distinction of being the party's sole Senator between 1920 and 1922.

Gardiner was born in Orange, New South Wales and educated at Flanagan's School. He was apprenticed as a carpenter at 15. In 1890, he moved to Parkes and worked on the gold battery at the Hazelhurst mine. In 1891, he was elected as an Australian Labor Party member for Forbes. In 1894, with the abolition of Forbes, he was elected the member for Ashburnham, but resigned in 1895. He was elected member for Orange from 1904 to 1907. From 1910 to 1926 he was a Senator for New South Wales in Federal Parliament.

Gardiner died at Bondi Junction.[1]
