Albert Briand (5 August 1909 - 29 May 1966) was a French merchant and politician.
Briand is the brother-in-law of senator Henri Claireaux.
He edited the weekly publication L'Écho des îles Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon ("The Echo of the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon").
With his brother-in-law Henri, he was a part of the collaborationist elite of Saint-Pierre, causing them both to be arrested in January 1944. Despite both being fervent anti-Gaullists, they became political adversaries.
