Albert George Morrow (b. Comber, County Down, 26 April 1863; d. West Hoathly, West Sussex, England, 26 October 1927) was an illustrator, poster designer and cartoonist. He was the son of a painter and decorator from Clifton Street, west Belfast. Of his seven brothers, four, George (1869–1955), Jack (1872–1926), Edwin (1877–1952) and Norman (1879–1917), were also illustrators.
He was educated at the Government School of Art in Belfast, and won a scholarship to study in Kensington in 1882, where he began a lifelong friendship with the British sculptor Albert Toft. He contributed illustrations to the English Illustrated Magazine, Bits and Good Words. He exhibited eleven works at the Royal Academy, and illustrated books for children and adults, but he is best known for the hundreds of posters he designed, mainly for the theatre.
