Albert "Albie" Axelrod (February 12, 1921 – February 24, 2004)[2] was an American foil fencer.[3]

He was a five-time Olympian for the US, won a bronze medal at the 1960 Olympics, and was the only American men's foil fencer to reach the finals at the world championships until Gerek Meinhardt won a bronze medal in the 2010 World Fencing Championships.[4]
