Albert Steigenberger (* 3. November 1889 in Deggendorf; † 19. Oktober 1958 in Frankfurt am Main) wurde als Sohn eines Textilkaufmanns geboren. Er erhielt im kleinen Familienunternehmen seine Ausbildung, sammelte 1912 in den USA praktische Erfahrungen und modernisierte nach der Rückkehr das väterliche Unternehmen, dem er eine Spinnerei hinzufügte.
Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg stieg er ins Stromversorgungs- und Grundstücksgeschäft ein, übernahm 1930 als Schuldtitel das Hotel "Europäischer Hof" in Baden-Baden und schuf aus diesen Anfängen eine Kette luxuriöser Traditionshotels. Zur A. Steigenberger Hotelgesellschaft KGaA gehörten bis zu seinem Tod unter anderem das "Drei Mohren" in Augsburg, der "Frankfurter Hof" in Frankfurt am Main, "Ritters Park-Hotel" in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, der "Badische Hof" in Baden-Baden und das "Park Hotel" in Düsseldorf. Daneben betrieb Steigenberger eine Weingroßhandlung und Sektkellerei, eine Wäschefabrik und Großgaststätten in Frankfurt und Stuttgart. Die Erben führten die Hotelgruppe bis 2009, mittlerweile gehört sie als "Deutsche Hospitality" zur chinesischen Huazhu Group.
Das Grab von Albert Steigenberger befindet sich im Gewann IV 125 auf dem Frankfurter Hautfriedhof.
