Franklin Augustus Alberger (January 14, 1825 – August 24, 1877) was an American businessman and politician from New York.

He was the son of Job Alberger, a butcher who owned a shop and slaughterhouses.

Franklin learned the butcher's trade from his father, and opened a pork packing business with his brothers.

The Union city convention was held on October 22, 1859, and after many ballots Alberger was nominated for Mayor.

He died suddenly, apparently of cholera, and was buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo.
