Albert Joseph Scanlon (born 10 October 1935 in Manchester) was an English football player. Scanlon came through the Manchester United youth system, making his debut for the club in 1954. Scanlon would help the club to two league titles (1956 and 1957). He would score 35 goals in his career, including 16 in 1959.

At the age of 22, he suffered a fractured skull, a broken leg and kidney problems in the Munich air disaster, but made a full recovery and was back in action at the start of the 1958-59 season.

He was about to sign for Arsenal just before the air crash, but the projected transfer was then cancelled.

Albert left United for Newcastle United in 1960 and later played for Lincoln City, Mansfield Town and Newport County, where he remained until his retirement in 1966.

On 13 May 2007, Albert Scanlon presented the Premiership trophy to Manchester United along with former colleague Bill Foulkes.
