Albert Victor Young (8 August 1899 – 10 November 1956) was an American composer, arranger, violinist and conductor. Trained as a violinist, he built a career as a Hollywood film composer and arranger from the 1930s through the 1950s, scoring hundreds of films and popular songs.

Young was posthumously awarded the Academy Award for Best Music Score of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture for “Around the World in 80 Days” at the 29th Academy Awards in 1957. His song “Beautiful Love” (1931), written with Wayne King, Egbert Van Alstyne, and Haven Gillespie, became a jazz standard and has since been widely arranged for classical guitar.
