Alwyn Vey Clouston (1910 - October 27, 2004 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada) was a Canadian storyteller and humourist known as "Uncle Al."

He was popular at conventions during the time he worked as a travelling businessman. He retired in 1975 and became a best-selling author of comedy books. He recorded a Juno Award-nominated comedy album.

He married Ida Bridden at St. John's Topsail Anglican Church on November 25, 1933, and they remained together until her death. Clouston is survived by their 2 children, 4 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. He was 94.
