Albert Blount (8 August, 1889 – 10 November, 1961) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1912 and 1926.

Blount was born in Morton, Derbyshire. He made his debut for Derbyshire in the 1912 season, in May against the South Africans, when he took a wicket and was twice not out. He played a total of five matches by the middle of June, and had his best bowling performance of 4 for 53 against Sussex . After a 14-year gap, he reappeared for Derbyshire in the 1926 season, and played two matches that year, scoring his personal best of 17 in his last game which was against Northamptonshire.

Blount was a right-hand batsman and played 11 innings in 7 first-class matches with an average of 5.77 and a top score of 17. He was a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and took 7 first-class wickets at an average of 30.71 and a best performance of 4 for 53.[1]
