Albert Buchanan Philpott (December 21, 1858 – September 22, 1916) was an American shopkeeper and Baptist minister who founded the community of Philpott, Virginia. A lifelong resident of Henry County, Virginia, he represented the county in the Virginia House of Delegates during its 1914 session. His grandson, A. L. Philpott (1919–1991), was elected to the house approximately four decades later and eventually rose to become speaker of that body.
