Albert Frederick Pollard FBA (16 December 1869 – 3 August 1948) was a British historian who specialised in the Tudor period.
Key books include Henry VIII (1905) and The History of England from the Accession of Edward VI to the Death of Elizabeth, 1547–1603 (1910).
Some of Pollard's speculations are nowadays generally discredited by the revisionist school of history led by academics such as Christopher Haigh.
For example, he put forward the thesis that English foreign policy from 1514 to 1529 was motivated by Thomas Wolsey's desire to become Pope.
He was the father of the bibliographer and bookseller Graham Pollard and father-in-law to pioneering Communist and women's rights campaigner Kay Beauchamp.
