Albion is a village in Orleans County, New York, United States.

The village is centrally located in the county, and is partly within the towns of both Albion and Gaines.

This area attracted few residents before the announcement, near the end of the decade, that the Erie Canal would be constructed through here.

In 1822, an entrepreneur named Nehemiah Ingersoll bought much of the land near the planned intersection of the canal and Oak Orchard Road, the main north–south route through the area at the time.

They chose Newport in 1826 due to its location on the canal and the West Branch of Sandy Creek, where a mill had already been established.

The next year the village changed its name to Albion to avoid postal confusion with New York's other Newport, in Oneida County.
