Edmund Edward Fournier d’Albe (25 October 1868, London – 29 June 1933) was a physicist, inventor, and Celtic activist. After studying in Düsseldorf and London, Fournier d’Albe moved to Ireland, started to learn Irish and collect traditional songs.
He was involved in the pan-Celtic movement, served as secretary of the Celtic Association and editor of its magazine Celtia, and organised the pan-Celtic congresses in Dublin (1901), in Carnarvon (1904), and in Edinburgh (1907).
