John W. Albaugh (30 September 1837 – February 11, 1909) was an American actor and manager, born in Baltimore. It was there that he made his first real appearance on the stage as the title character in a play called Brutus, or the Fall of Tarquin (1855), on a stage managed by Joseph Jefferson. Of his many subsequent impersonations, perhaps the best-known is that of Louis XI, at what later became Daly's Theatre in New York. After 1868 he was manager of theatres in St. Louis, New Orleans, and Albany, and for a number of years in Washington and Baltimore, where he owned the new Lyceum. He retired from the stage in 1899.
