Albert Charles Saunders was a Canadian politician and jurist from Prince Edward Island.
Saunders served as mayor of Summerside for four terms. He was first elected to the provincial legislature in 1919 and became leader of the opposition Liberal Party in 1923.
He led the Liberals to victory in the 1927 election by supporting the continuation of total prohibition against the Conservative government's proposals to ease the temperance measure. The Saunders government revised the curriculum of the public school system, raised the salaries of teachers and improved the island's roads.
He served as the 16th premier until 1930 when he accepted an appointment to the provincial Supreme Court. Saunders died in Summerside.
