Albert Martin (January 6, 1808 – March 6, 1836) was a Texian merchant and captain of the Gonzales Mounted Rangers who delivered William B. Travis' letter "To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World" and died while defending the Alamo garrison.

Albert Martin attended Vermont's Norwich University, which was then known as the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy.

The next day, Martin left the Alamo carrying Travis's famous letter "To the People of Texas," which he delivered to Lancelot Smither in Gonzales.
