Albert Woolley (1871–4 February 1896) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Aston Villa and Derby County. He was described as "a very fine outside left forward, combining great speed with cleverness and dash" and as a "speedy forward, tricky dodger, and fine accurate shot at goal". He died of consumption aged just 24, whilst in dispute with Derby County over non-payment of his wages. The club paid £45 to Woolley's parents on his death to settle the claim.
