Albert Franklin Burgess (October 2, 1873 – February 23, 1953) was an American entomologist.
He used biological control measures and also tried to restrict the expansion of the moth by intensive management along a 9000 square mile barrier belt surrounding the area affected by the moths in New Jersey.
After a master's degree in 1897 he went to work as an assistant entomologist in the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture.
He became an assistant in entomology at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1899.
From 1907 he served in the US Bureau of Entomology working on the gypsy moth.
