Albert S. Bard (December 19, 1866 – March 25, 1963) was an American lawyer and civic activist in New York City.
[2] Bard had a particular interest in the protection of city streets and rural landscapes from the broadening of advertisements and billboards.
From 1912-1914 Bard served as secretary and legal counsel to the Mayor's Billboard Advertising Commission and was the author of its final report.
In 1954, Bard drafted an act which was designed to enable cities in New York State to pass laws to protect their landmarks.
Together with other reformers like William Mills Ivins, Sr. Bard sued several state and city officers and brought to court many citizens because of violating the "purity of the polls".
