Albert Edward Jull (6 December 1864 – 24 September 1940) was a New Zealand politician of the Liberal Party, the United Party and from 1938 the National Party.

Jull was born in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada in 1864. He received his education in Brantford at various public schools.

He came to New Zealand with his parents in 1877. He arrived in Waipawa in 1881, for some years was engaged in store-keeping, and subsequently established himself in the brewing industry. Jull was chairman of the Waipawa County Council, was elected president of the New Zealand Counties Association in 1901, was for some years chairman of the Waipawa Town Board and of the District Hospital Board, and in 1894 was president of the New Zealand Fire Brigades' Association. He is an enthusiastic Oddfellow, is a Past Provincial Grand Master of the Hawke's Bay district, and in 1906 represented the district at the biennial conference held at Nelson. He chaired the Napier Harbour Board for 20 years, a role from which he retired in 1932.

Jull first stood for the rural Hawke's Bay Region electorate of Waipawa in 1911 for the Liberal Party, coming second to George Hunter. Jull came second again in 1914 and 1919. In the 1922 election, he was one of four candidates in the Napier electorate as an Independent, coming third.
