Michael Albano (born November 6, 1950) is an American politician, college professor, and government affairs consultant who resides in Longmeadow, Massachusetts.

On November 6, 2012, Albano was elected to the Governor's Council representing the counties of Hampden, Hampshire, Berkshire and Franklin of Massachusetts.

[4] Much of the latter half of his time as mayor took place concurrently with a wide-ranging FBI mafia investigation that began targeting corruption in public officials in 2000, and which resulted in more than 30 convictions.

"[10] Albano says he strongly supports the woman's right to choose an abortion, affirmative action, and gay marriage, and labor unions.

In his 2012 run for Governor's Council, Albano campaigned on the platform that there should be a "litmus test" for judges within Massachusetts on these issues.
