"Albert Flasher" is a song written by Burton Cummings and performed by The Guess Who. Initially released as a single in 1971 (with Broken on the B-side), it did not appear on any of their studio albums at that time. It was to be included on much later releases of So Long, Bannatyne (Iconoclassic release, 2009). It was, however, to appear on many of their later compilation albums including the 1973 release "The Best of the Guess Who, Volume II" and the 1973 compilation EP titled "The Guess Who". It was also part of many live shows such as the one captured in "Live at the Paramount" (1972).

Albert Flasher reached #13 in Canada, #28 in Australia, and #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971. The song was also released in the United Kingdom as a single, but it did not chart.

The song was produced by Jack Richardson.
