The Albany is a multi-purpose arts centre in Deptford, south-east London.

Facilities include a flexible performance space holding up to 300 seated or 600 standing and a bar, two studio theatres, a performance cafe and rehearsal / meeting rooms. The Albany currently hosts a varied programme of events including music, spoken word, theatre, club nights, and children's shows. Several arts and community organisations are based at the Albany including spoken word promoters Apples & Snakes and Heart n Soul who provide opportunities for artists with learning disabilities.

The original Albany Institute was opened in 1899 and provided various activities and support to a local population with high levels of poverty and deprivation.

It was not until the early 1970s that a touring theatre company became resident at the Albany and the organisation began to focus on fusion between community work and the arts.

In 1970s here hosted 15 Rock Against Racism gigs and Dire Straits performed here 2 July 1978. On July 14, 1978, the Albany's theatre, then called Albany Empire, was destroyed by fire, the cause of which has never been established. Plans were put in place for a new purpose built building incorporating theatre spaces, a cafe, community rooms and offices. This new building on Douglas Way was officially opened by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1982.
