Albert Berger Rossdale (October 23, 1878 – April 17, 1968) was an American labor leader, businessman, and politician. He notably served as the U.S. Representative from New York's 23rd congressional district from 1921 to 1923.
Born in New York City, Rossdale attended the public schools there. He worked as a clerk in the New York post office from 1900 to 1910, becoming president of the New York Federation of Post Office Clerks in 1906 and 1907 and vice president of the national organization in 1908 and 1909.
