Philippe Albert (born August 10, 1967 in Bouillon, Belgium) is a former football defender. He played with R. Charleroi S.C., KV Mechelen, R.S.C. Anderlecht and Newcastle United in England. Albert was a regular in his national team where he played in the 1994 World Cup.

He was a cult hero at Newcastle United; his most famous moment there was when he scored an audacious lob over Peter Schmeichel in a famous 5-0 win over Manchester United.

Albert won the Belgian Golden Shoe in 1992, the year when he was transferred from Mechelen to Anderlecht.

At the 1994 World Cup, he played all four of Belgium's matches, scoring in the opening match against Netherlands and in the second round match against Germany, which Belgium lost 3-2.

Now in retirement, Albert is now working as a pundit for Belgian TV whilst also having close connections with Newcastle. He will be a major factor in their UEFA cup tie against SV Zulte Waregem.
