Albert Joseph Widmar (March 20, 1925 – October 15, 2005) was an American pitcher, pitching coach, scout and front-office executive in Major League Baseball (MLB). In addition to forging a 59-year career in professional baseball, he also played professional basketball for three seasons.

A decade later, he returned to the majors as a pitching coach, serving in that role for 17 seasons between 1962 and 1989 for the Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays.
