Albert "Bert" Heath Hall (July 11, 1858 - May 25, 1920) was an early American Bahá'í who served on the Bahá'í Temple Unity, a precursor to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States. His profession was as a lawyer.
He was born to Rev. Levi and Lucinda Mitchell Hall in Alexandria, Licking County, Ohio. In 1873 he moved to Austin, Minnesota, and he enrolled in the University of Minnesota in 1875, supporting himself by working in a sawmill. Later he worked stringing the first telephone wires in Minneapolis, Minnesota and then as a telephone operator while still finishing his studies. He studied law under Judge Frederick Hooker at his law office after leaving the University of Minnesota, then went to work for the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. while studying law at Columbian University, graduating in 1884. He worked as a lawyer in Minneapolis after graduating until his passing, and developed a track record for helping the poor.
Albert became a Baha'i between 1900 and 1903. By 1909 there were approximately fifteen Baha'is in Minneapolis, and a community was formally formed.
Albert was the delegate who represented Minneapolis at the first U.S. National Convention in 1909, at which he was elected to the Bahá'í Temple Unity, which was a national body formed by the American Bahá'í community in order to coordinate efforts to build a Mashriqu'l-Adhkár in the United States. He was elected as Chairman of the body in 1911 and served as Chairman until 1914, and served on the body as a member until 1918.[8] 'Abdu'l-Bahá gave a talk in his home during his visit to America in 1912.
As he was ill in 1920, he was advised against attending the Bahá'í National Convention by his doctor, however he attended anyway. He met with Ole Hansen, the former Mayor of Seattle, on the journey home from the Convention and gave him a copy of the Hidden Words and Seven Valleys. He passed away later that year.
