Albert Ballard CBE (2 August 1888 – 7 January 1969) was a leading figure in the British Co-operative Party.

Ballard became the election agent for A. V. Alexander in the Sheffield Hillsborough constituency in 1922;[1] Alexander gained the seat for the Co-operative Party, taking the Labour Party whip in Parliament. Ballard also became active in the local Labour Party, joining the Fabian Society, and later acting as its local Chairman.[2]
