Albert Coray

Albert J. Coray (born 1881, date of death unknown) was a French athlete who competed at the 1904 Summer Olympics held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. He won a silver medal in the marathon race and also won a silver medal as a member of the Chicago Athletic Association team in the four mile team race.

Although the Games report refers to Coray as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association" [cite book |title=The Olympic Games — 1904 |author=Charles J.P. Lucas |publisher=Woodard & Tiernan |year=1905 |location=St. Louis, MO
