Albert Almasqué Domènech (25 December 1888 – 10 July 1976) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender for FC Barcelona. He is best known for being the youngest player to have played an official competitive match for FC Barcelona, which he achieved in 1902 at the tender age of just 13.

He is the younger brother of Alfonso Almasqué, who also played for Barcelona, and in doing so, they became the first Catalan brothers in the club's history. He immigrated to the United States in 1940, where he was a successful businessman, and he was also president of Nestlé in Chile, Bolivia and Cuba, where he had to go into exile because of the Cuban Revolution.
