Albert Julius Aber (July 31, 1927 - May 20, 1993), nicknamed Lefty, was a left-handed Major League Baseball pitcher who played six years in the Major Leagues with the Cleveland Indians (by|1950, by|1953), Detroit Tigers (by|1953-by|1957), and Kansas City Athletics (by|1957).

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Aber was signed as an amateur free agent by the Indians at age 19 in by|1946. He debuted on September 15, 1950, pitching a complete game victory and allowing only 2 runs. Even so, he did not play another game in the big leagues until 1953. He appeared in six games for the Indians in 1953 before being traded on June 15, 1953 to the Tigers with Ray Boone and Dick Weik for Art Houtteman, Owen Friend, Bill Wight, and Joe Ginsberg. Aber spent the next five years with the Tigers, where he went 22-24 in five years. In an interview in Sport magazine in June by|1956, Tigers catcher Frank House complimented Aber for his "heavy" ball: "I could catch (Billy) Hoeft with a fielder's glove. Although he's fast, he throws a 'light' ball that makes it easy on the catcher. Al Aber, another leftie [sic] on our staff, is tough to catch because he throws a 'heavy' ball."

Aber died in 1993 at age 65 in Garfield Heights, Ohio.
