Albert H.C. Corbett (December 29, 1887 in Springfield, ManitobaApril 14, 1983) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Progressive Conservative from 1958 to 1962. His father, William Henry Corbett, was also a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1903 to 1907.

Corbett was educated at Manitoba University, taking a program in Civil Engineering from 1907 to 1909. He worked as a civil engineer before entering public life, and was District Engineer of the Manitoba Public Works Department from 1916 to 1953.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 general election, defeating CCF candidate Hilliard Farriss by 105 votes in the Swan River constituency (incumbent Liberal-Progressive Ronald D. Robertson finished third). He was re-elected over Farriss by a greater margin in the 1959 election.

Corbett was a backbench supporter of Dufferin Roblin's government during his time in the legislature. He did not seek re-election in 1962.
