Albert Gaillard (5 September 1858 in Neuilly-sur-Seine – 28 July 1903 in Angers) was a French mycologist.
In 1887 he collected mycological and botanical specimens in Venezuela; mainly in the vicinity of Puerto Ayacucho and places along the Orinoco River, journeying as far as San Fernando de Atabapo.
In Colombia, he collected specimens along the Rio Guaviare, a tributary of the Orinoco.
[1] The French Academy of Sciences awarded the 1893 "Prix Montague" to Gaillard for his work on fungi.
[2][3] The genus Gaillardiella (family Nitschkiaceae) was named in his honor by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1895.
