The Albert Park Football Club (historically styled as Albert-park) was a 19th-century Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Albert Park.

Albert Park was a founding senior member of the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1877, before amalgamating with neighbouring South Melbourne (now known as Sydney) in 1880.

[6] In claiming the walkover, Albert-park players took to the field against no opposition and scored two goals, in a similar manner to the traditional ceremony of an unopposed horse "walking over" the track to claim a walkover victory, something one sportswriter described at the time as "simply absurd and unprecedented,"[7] but which later became common practice in the event of such a forfeiture.

In 1880, Albert-park amalgamated with the neighbouring South Melbourne, which had joined the VFA as a senior club in 1879, to create a new club under South Melbourne's name that retained Albert-park's red and white colours.

The merged club went on to dominate metropolitan football during the 1880s and early 1890s, winning five premierships in ten years, and exists today as the professional Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League.
