Albert Raymond Forbes Webber (1 January 1880 - 29 June 1932) was a Caribbean author from Trinidad and Tobago. He was author of Those That Be in Bondage: A Tale of Indian Indentures and Sunlit Western Waters (1917), a novel described as "a strange mixture of romantic sentimentality and protest against the treatment of East Indian indentured labourers on Guyanese plantations",[1] and Centenary History and Handbook of British Guiana (1931).
