Albert Rose (born New York City, 30 March 1910, died on 26 July 1990) was an American physicist, who made major contributions to TV video camera tubes such as the Orthicon, Image Orthicon, and Vidicon.

He received an A.B. degree and a Ph.D. degree in Physics from Cornell University in 1931 and 1935, respectively. He joined RCA, where was active in the development of TV camera tubes.

He was known to be an expert on photoconductivity. For example, he wrote a book "Concepts in photoconductivity and allied problems", which was published by Wiley Interscience, New York in 1963.

He died in 1990. cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title= Albert Rose, a Research Scientist Known for TV Tube, Dies at 80. |url= |quote=Albert Rose, a research scientist whose work in converting optical images to electrical signals led to the development of the modern television picture tube, died on Thursday at the Princeton Medical Center in New Jersey.
