Albert Jamil Butros (25 March 1934 – 31 August 2021) was a Jordanian diplomat and academic administrator who served as an ambassador and then Dean (education) of the University of Jordan.

Butros had a long and varied career in academia, diplomacy and politics, serving as Jordanian Ambassador to The United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Iceland, as well as acting as special advisor to then Crown Prince Hassan bin-Talal of Jordan, and serving as a Professor of English at several universities in Jordan and the USA, and as a member of the Board of Governors of the International Development Research Centre.

After completing his doctorate, he lectured English studies at the Hunter College, City University of New York.

Following a period of service in politics and diplomacy, he returned to the University of Jordan, where he continued teaching English until his retirement in 2004.

From 1976 to 1984 he was Director General and President of Jordan's Royal Scientific Society in Amman, where he set the tone for an organisation which 'underpromised on what it would deliver, and did what it promised'.
