Sir Bronson James Albery (6 March 1881 – 21 July 1971) was an English theatre director and impresario. Albery was knighted in 1949 for his services to the theatre.[1] The Albery Theatre in London was named in his honour and his elder son, Sir Donald Albery, was also a theatrical impresario.

Bronson was second son of dramatist, James Albery, and stage actress, Mary Moore. He was a brother to politicians, Irving Albery & Wyndham Albery. Albery married Una Gwynn Rolleston. [2]

By 1953, Sir Bronson Albery was the name over the Criterion Theatre, leased from The Wyndham Theatres Ltd and licensed by the Lord Chamberlain.[3]
