Horace Marden Albright (January 6, 1890 March 28, 1987) was an American conservationist. Horace Albright graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1912, and earned a law degree from Georgetown University. After graduation he worked for the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C. Albright became a legal assistant to Stephen Mather when Mather became Assistant Secretary in charge of National Parks, and later assisted Mather when the National Park Service (NPS) was established in 1916.
