Albert Sheffield Nettles, known as Bert Nettles (born May 6, 1936), is an attorney from Birmingham, Alabama, who served from 1969 to 1974 as a Republican member of the Alabama House of Representatives from Mobile County. He is one of the first members of his party to have held a state legislative seat in Alabama since Reconstruction though Tandy Little of Montgomery and two other Republicans had been elected for single terms in 1962.
Nettles is the youngest of four sons of George Lee Nettles (1894-1969) and the former Blanche Sheffield (1908-1995). He was born in Monroeville in Monroe County in south Alabama. His brothers are David Miller Nettles (1930-1981), George Clay Nettles (born 1932), and Joe Lee Nettles (born 1933). Monroeville, the setting of the 1960 Harper Lee novel To Kill a Mockingbird, is located halfway between Mobile on the Gulf Coast and the capital city of Montgomery.
Nettles graduated in 1958 from the University of Alabama and in 1960 from the University of Alabama School of Law, both institutions located in Tuscaloosa. Thereafter, he was admitted to the bar and worked briefly in Montgomery for the office of the state attorney general, MacDonald Gallion, before he joined a law firm in Mobile.
