Albert David Owen (31 July 1898 – 18 June 1964) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Originally from Ystalyfera RFC, Owen debuted for Swansea in the 1923–24 season and developed into their regular outside–half, having previously been a centre three–quarter. He gained a Wales cap against England at Swansea in 1924, forming an all new halfback combination with Eddie Watkins. His performance was considered underwhelming in a Wales loss and he subsequently made way for Newport's Vince Griffiths.
