Albert Bartlett Bickford (24 August 1887 – 23 December 1971) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Playing career

Originally from Essendon Association, Bickford made one appearance for Carlton in each of the 1906 and 1907 seasons, both premiership years. He then transferred to Melbourne and played eight games in the 1908 VFL season, followed by a single appearance in 1909.
