Alberto "Abet" S. Uy, (born October 18, 1966), is a Filipino Roman Catholic clergyman who is currently the Bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran in the Philippines.

Episcopacy

Pope Francis appointed Uy as bishop on October 13, 2016. Uy was consecrated as bishop at the Blessed Trinity Cathedral in Talibon, Bohol, seat of the Diocese of Talibon on January 5, 2017, and was installed as the seventh bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran on January 6, 2017 at Cathedral of St. Joseph the Worker in Tagbilaran City. He succeeded retired bishop Leonardo Y. Medroso.

In May, 2024, Uy, in an open letter, praised Bohol Representatives Edgar Chatto, Ma. Vanessa C. Aumentado and Alexie Tutor for their “courageous stance” in voting negative versus the divorce bill. In December, Uy exhorted his parishioners regarding the current state of infrastructure corruption. He voiced his strong opposition to the planned construction of the Cebu–Bohol Bridge based on environmental protection concerns and possible damage to the Danajon Bank.
