Albert Claudius "Claude" Wathey (24 July 1926 – 8 or 9 January 1998), was a prominent politician of the Democratic Party from the island of Sint Maarten.

Wathey championed political independence for the island in 1989, but was later convicted on charges of perjury; however, many on Sint Maarten felt the trial was nothing more than a witch hunt conducted by his rivals and adversaries in Curaçao and the Netherlands in order to break his monopoly on political power in Sint Maarten and to destroy his credibility.

Claude (as he was known) was elected to the Parliament of the Netherlands Antilles in 1962, representing the three Dutch Windward Islands of Saba, Statia, and Sint Maarten.

Under his administration, Sint Maarten was transformed from a neglected colonial backwater into a thriving tourism destination with one of the highest per capita incomes in the region.

Claude spent his remaining days on Sint Maarten and died in January 1998.
