Albert Paulsen (Guayaquil, Equador, 13 de desembre de 1925 - Los Angeles, Califòrnia, 25 d’abril de 2004) va ser un actor equatorià-nord-americà que va aparèixer en moltes sèries de televisió nord-americanes a partir de la dècada de 1960, interpretant personatges principalment d'origen europeu.

Although he appeared in several notable films, he made his mark as one of TV's most distinctive bad guys of the 1960s and 1970s. Albert Paulson was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, of Norwegian descent; he would later change his surname to reflect its original spelling. He was educated at German boarding schools before moving to Los Angeles in 1942.
