Alvin Benjamin Rubin (March 13, 1920 – June 11, 1991) was a United States federal judge.
Born in Alexandria in Rapides Parish in Central Louisiana, Rubin received a Bachelor of Science from Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge in 1941 and an LL.B. from Louisiana State University Law School in 1942. He was in private practice in Louisiana from 1946 to 1966.
On August 16, 1966, Rubin was nominated by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson to a new seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana created by 80 Stat. 75. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 20, 1966, and received his commission on November 3, 1966. Rubin served in that capacity until October 8, 1977, when he was elevated to another judicial position. One of his law clerks while he served on the district court was future U.S. Representative William J. Jefferson, the first African American to represent Louisiana in the United States House of Representatives since Reconstruction.
