Albert Edward Anson (14 September 1879 – 25 June 1936) was a British stage and screen actor.

Born in London made his first appearance onstage in 1895. He left the stage briefly to pursue a degree in engineering and returned to appear with Beerbohm Tree's company in 1904. He gained fame as a Shakespearian actor appearing on London and New York stages.

In 1931, Anson made his screen debut in John Ford's film "Arrowsmith". Director Frank Capra cast him to play the "High Lama" in his film "Lost Horizon", but Anson died before filming so the role was given to Sam Jaffe. Anson died in Monrovia, California.
