Albert Corey (birth name Albert Louis Corey; 16 April 1878 – 3 August 1926) was a French athlete who competed at the 1904 Summer Olympics held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. He won a silver medal in the marathon race and also won a silver medal as a member of the Chicago Athletic Association team in the four mile team race.

Biography

Although the Games report refers to Corey as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association", the International Olympic Committee attributes his medal in the marathon to the United States. However, in contradiction, the medal in the team race to a mixed team instead of the United States, due to insufficient or improper documentation at the time. Corey was a French immigrant to the United States, who lived in America.

Competing for the First Regiment Athletic Association of Chicago on June 6, 1908, Corey finished ahead of Roy Kemper and teammate Alexander Thibeau to win the 15-mile St. Louis Marathon.
