Albert William Christian Theodore Herre (September 16, 1868 – January 16, 1962) was an American ichthyologist and lichenologist.

He was an alumnus of Stanford University, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in botany in 1903.

[3] Albert W. Herre was perhaps best known for his taxonomic work in the Philippines, where he was the Chief of Fisheries of the Bureau of Science in Manila from 1919 to 1928.

While in the Bureau of Science of the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands (which was administered by the United States at the time), Herre was responsible for discovering and describing new species of fish.

[4] Herre is commemorated in the scientific name of a species of gecko, Lepidodactylus herrei, which is endemic to the Philippines.
