Albert Victor Lauder (11 October 1898 – 4 September 1971)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Lauder was at Collingwood during a prolific period for the club, and despite playing only 36 league games he played in three premiership sides. He always played as a defender, on either a half-back flank or back pocket and initially struggled to cement a spot in the side with only five games in his first three seasons. Lauder finished in a losing team on only four occasions during his career.

Lauder holds the League record for the most consecutive games won at the start of a career, with 18.[2] His first loss came in the 1929 semi-final against Richmond; however, Collingwood went on to defeat Richmond in the 1929 VFL Grand Final.

Lauder finished his VFL senior playing career with a record of 32–0–4, representing a winning percentage of 88.89%.
