Albert Augustus Carmichael (July 27, 1895 – June 4, 1952) was an American politician who served as the 14th Lieutenant Governor of Alabama from 1939 to 1943.

Before assuming his role as lieutenant governor, Carmichael gained notoriety for his position in the Albert A. Carmichael V. Southern Coal Company Records supreme court case. This case tested the constitutionality of pooled-based state unemployment insurance laws. He accused the legislature of arbitrary and unreasonable assessment of some employers which allegedly colluded in order to pay benefits to workers who were employed by other firms.^[1]
