爱德华·阿尔比（1928年3月12日－），美国剧作家，最著名的作品有《谁害怕弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙？》、《动物园的故事》、《优美的平衡》、《海景画》等。其作品设计严密，通常是关于现代状态的冷峻考察。他早期的作品是荒诞派戏剧的美国化。以Paula Vogel为代表的新一代美国剧作家赞赏阿尔比在1960年代早期重构了战后美国喜剧——既注重演出手法，也注重辛辣的台词。阿尔比仍不断推出新剧，如《The Goat: or, Who Is Sylvia?》（2002）。

Edward Franklin Albee III (/ˈɔːlbiː/ AWL-bee; born March 12, 1928) is an American playwright known for works such as The Zoo Story (1958), The Sandbox (1959), and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962). His works are often considered as well-crafted, realistic examinations of the modern condition. His early works reflect a mastery and Americanization of the Theatre of the Absurd that found its peak in works by European playwrights such as Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, and Jean Genet. Younger American playwrights, such as Paula Vogel, credit Albee's daring mix of theatricality and biting dialogue with helping to reinvent the post-war American theatre in the early 1960s. Albee continues to experiment in works such as The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? (2002).
