Albert Arnold Gore III (born 1982) is the son of former United States Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore and the grandson of former United States Senator from Tennessee Al Gore, Sr. He is best-known for being mentioned in an emotional vice-presidential nomination acceptance speech by his father during the 1992 Democratic National Convention. Gore graduated from Harvard University, his father's alma mater.

In April 1989, Gore was the victim of a near-fatal car accident while attending a baseball game in Baltimore, Maryland. His father chose to stay near him during the recovery. This was discussed in his father's 2006 book, An Inconvenient Truth and in the 2006 documentary of the same name.

In August 2000, when Gore was 17 years old, Gore was ticketed for driving 97 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone in North Carolina.

September 2002, he was ticketed for driving under the influence by military police just outside Fort Myer in suburban Virginia.

On December 19, 2003, Gore was arrested and charged with marijuana possession in Bethesda, Maryland. A plea deal was reached in February 2004 and he was sentenced to a substance abuse program.

As of October 2006, Gore works as an associate publisher of Good magazine, a recent start-up published in Los Angeles.
