Ambrose Upton Gledstanes Bury (August 1, 1869 – March 29, 1951) was a politician in Alberta, Canada, a mayor of Edmonton, and a member of the Canadian House of Commons.
Ambrose Bury was born in Downings House, County Kildare, Ireland on August 1, 1869. He was educated at the Liverpool Institute, the Royal School in Raphoe, Dublin High School, Trinity College, and the King's Inn in Dublin, from which he received a Bachelor of Arts in 1890 and a Master of Arts in 1893.
He married Margaret Amy Beatrice Owen on June 16, 1897 with whom he would have one son.
He was called to the Irish Bar in 1906, and practiced law in Ireland before immigrating to Edmonton in 1912. The following year, he was admitted to the Law Society of Alberta. He practiced law as a partner of Ewing, Harvie & Bury (later Harvie, Bury & Yanda), and was chancellor of the Anglican diocese at Athabasca from 1919.
Bury's first attempt at public office was running for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 1921 provincial election as a Conservative in Edmonton. He was defeated, finishing fourteenth of twenty-six candidates.
