Albert H. Angstman (March 23, 1888 – February 29, 1964) was a justice of the Montana Supreme Court from 1929 to 1934, again from 1937 to 1942, and again from 1945 to 1961.[1]

Born on a farm near Farmington, Minnesota, he graduated from the St. Paul College of Law in 1912, and moved to Helena, Montana. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War I.[1]

Angstman was a first assistant attorney general prior to being elected to the court in November 1928 to take office the following January.[2] He left the court in 1935 to become secretary and attorney of the state railroad and state public service commission.[2] He was again elected to the court in 1936, serving his second stint until 1943.[2]

Angstman married Mary Frances Chirgwin, with whom he had three children.[1]
