Albert Edward Hollingworth (16 August 1910 – 1 October 1968) was an Australian rules footballer for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the 1930s.[1]

Hollingworth was a strong marking, long kicking centre half forward who made his league debut in 1934, and enjoyed a very successful season which earned him the club’s best and fairest award. His inaccurate shooting for goal, however, yielding a tally of 4.7, was a factor in Port Adelaide's grand final loss that year.[2]

Hollingworth won another club best and fairest award in 1936,[3] and, after being moved to full forward following Jack Prideaux’s retirement, he topped the Magpies' goal-kicking list in 1938 with 45 goals and in 1939 with 78. A South Australian interstate representative on half a dozen occasions, including both matches at the 1937 Perth carnival, he played a total of 91 league games including five Grand Finals.
