Heather Albert (married name Heather Albert-Hall, born May 27, 1968) is an American professional bicycle racer. She is also the author of a book titled "The Genisoy Diet".

Born in Sandy, Utah, Albert attended Brigham Young University, Utah, and has a Ph.D. in microbiology. A cross country runner in high school, she tried duathlon at college before her brother suggested she try cycling. She began racing in 1994 and became a full-time cyclist in 1995.

Albert broke her right clavicle and dislocated her thumb in March 2004, when she was brought down in an incident involving Rebecca Quinn during a track race at the Alkek Velodrome, Houston.

Albert is now an accomplished track and road racer, winning the silver medal at the United States National Track Championships points race and bronze in the team pursuit. She lives in Eagle, Idaho with her husband, Uhl.
