Albert Grisar (born Antwerp, December 26, 1808 - died Asnières, June 15, 1869) was a Belgian composer.
Grisar studied in Antwerp, in Paris (under Anton Reicha), and, in the mid-1840s, in Naples with Saverio Mercadante. He was a successful comic opera composer, first winning success in Brussels in 1833 and in Paris later in the decade. He collaborated with Flotow on L'eau merveilleuse (1839) and with Louis Boieldieu on L'opéra à la cour (1840). His Parisian works of the late 1840s and early 1850s were particularly well-received by audiences.
