Albert William Puddy (December 19, 1916 – June 23, 1999) was a competition swimmer who represented Canada in international swimming events during the 1930s. At the 1934 British Empire Games in London, he won a gold medal as a member of the first-place Canadian team in the 3x110-yard medley relay, and a bronze medal in the 200-yard breaststroke. He also swam in the 200-metre breaststroke at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, but did not advance beyond the first round.[1]
