Albert Peter Hall (2 September 1930 – 27 December 2013) was the Bishop of Woolwich from 1984 until 1996 and the first area bishop under the 1991 area scheme.

Hall was educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Blackburn, and St John's College, Cambridge. Ordained in 1956 he began his ministry as a curate at St Martin's, Birmingham after which he was the Rector of Avondale, Southern Rhodesia, and then of St Martin in the Bull Ring, Birmingham, before his ordination to the episcopate. A keen mountain walker, he was married with two sons and in retirement continued to serve the church as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Birmingham.
