Albin Carl Bro (1893–1956) was a Christian missionary and educator, United States diplomat, and the fifth president of Shimer College.

Under his administration, efforts were made to adopt aspects of the general education curriculum from the College of the University of Chicago.

[4] These efforts ultimately bore fruit in the more radical transformation that occurred under Bro's successor, Aaron Brumbaugh.

[1][6] He was initially granted only a one-year leave of absence from his Shimer position, as the State Department appointment was tentative.

[3] In 1956, Bro co-founded the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, a Spiritualist organization, together with Arthur Ford and Paul Higgins.
