The Rural Municipality of Albert is a former rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was originally incorporated as a rural municipality on December 1, 1905.

It had a population of 339 in the 2006 census and was located in the Westman Region of the province. This primarily agricultural municipality was formed in 1905 by a subdivision of the Rural Municipality of Arthur.

It had a land area of 769.55 square kilometres and ranked 3,544th in terms of population in Canada prior to amalgamation. It was located directly east of Manitoba's border with Saskatchewan.
