Albano Vercellese is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Vercelli in the Italian region Piedmont, located about {{convert|70|km|mi}} northeast of Turin and about {{convert|13|km|mi|0}} north of Vercelli.

Despite the Roman toponym, Albano is documented only from the 10th century. In 1335 it became a fief of the Visconti of Milan. It became part of the Duchy of Savoy in 1407.

Albano Vercellese borders the following municipalities: Collobiano, Greggio, Oldenico, San Nazzaro Sesia, and Villarboit. It is home to a castle which has maintained parts from the 14th century. The apse of the Oratory of the Holy Trinity has 15th-century frescoes.
