Albert William Puddy (December 19, 1916 – June 23, 1999) was a competition swimmer who represented Canada in international swimming events during the 1930s. At the 1934 British Empire Games in London, he won a gold medal as a member of the first-place Canadian team in the 3x110-yard medley relay, and a bronze medal in the 200-yard breaststroke. He also swam in the 200-metre breaststroke at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, but did not advance beyond the first round.{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/pu/bill-puddy-1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418003858/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/pu/bill-puddy-1.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 18, 2020 |accessdate=May 8, 2015}}
