Albert Samuel Nipper (born April 2, 1959) is a Major League Baseball coach and a former pitcher who played for the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians.

Al Nipper played for the Red Sox from 1983 to 1987. He played for the Chicago Cubs in 1988 and for the Cleveland Indians in 1990. He finished with a career record of 46-50 and a 4.52 earned run average.

Since his retirement, he has served in a number of positions in the Red Sox minor leagues. In July 1995, Nipper returned to the big leagues as the pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox which lasted until April 1996. On November 17, 2005, Nipper again returned to the big leagues when he was named bullpen coach of the Red Sox. With pitching coach Dave Wallace's health problems, he has been named the Red Sox's interim pitching coach.

Nipper graduated from Hazelwood West High School in Hazelwood, MO and Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri (Formerly Northeast Missouri State University). He is a close friend of superstar pitcher and former Red Sox teammate Roger Clemens. It is believed that Nipper had been an advocate of Clemens returning to Boston to finish out his career.
