Albert Clifton Thompson (January 23, 1842 – January 26, 1910) was a lawyer, soldier, three-term U.S. Representative from Ohio and a United States District Judge.
Born in Brookville, Pennsylvania, Thompson attended the common schools and Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. He later studied law.
He served in the Union Army during the Civil War as the second lieutenant of Company B, One Hundred and Fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He was promoted to captain of Company K in the same regiment on November 28, 1861. He served until March 23, 1863, when he was discharged on account of wounds received in the Second Battle of Bull Run.
He read law in 1864 and was admitted to the bar on December 13, 1864. He commenced practice in Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1865. Thompson was elected probate judge of Scioto County, Ohio, in October 1869. He was subsequently elected as common pleas judge of the Seventh judicial district of Ohio in October 1881.
Thompson was elected as a Republican to the Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, and Fifty-first Congresses (March 4, 1885 – March 3, 1891). He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1890 and resumed the practice of law.
