Albert 'Bert' Sharpe (6 May 1878 – 10 January 1918) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Sharpe was a key position forward but could also play as a defender when required. He played at centre half-forward in the 1898 Fitzroy premiership side and went on to play 99 games for the club; some sources credit him as having played in Fitzroy's 1899 premiership team, thus making 100 Fitzroy appearances, but he was a late withdrawal from the side due to the death of his father the day before the Grand Final; his teammates wore black armbands for that match.[1] He still brought up the 100 game milestone as he continued his career at South Melbourne in 1904.[2]
