Albert Sutton (June 6, 1867 – November 18, 1923) was a noted architect in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the cities of Tacoma, Washington; San Francisco, California; Portland, Oregon; and their vicinities.

His father led a seafaring life as chief engineer in the Pacific Squadron of the U.S. Navy during the 1860s and was on the George S. Wright Steamer when it tragically disappeared in January 1873 off Sitka, Alaska on its way back to Portland, Oregon.

[5] The following year he was selected by the board of trustees to design a new $125,000 homeopathic hospital on Lake street between 14th and 15th avenues of San Francisco, with support from philanthropist Phoebe Hearst for a children's ward.

[8] Other works designed were, according to historian Carey, "the Farmers & Merchants Bank at Oakland, the John A. Roebling's Sons Company building at San Francisco, said to be one of the best examples of fireproof construction in the country...

Sutton resumed his practice of architecture in 1912, when he returned to his childhood city of Portland, and joined forces with junior partner Harrison Allen Whitney (1877–1962).

[13][14] At the time of his death, he was supervising several projects in Tacoma, including the Annie Wright seminary and the new College of Puget Sound campus.
