Albert J. Coray (born 1881) 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.

Although the Games report refers to Coray as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association"[1], the International Olympic Committee attributes his medal in the marathon to the United States instead of France, and in contradiction, the medal in the team race to a mixed team[2] instead of the United States.
