Walbert is an extinct town in Franklin County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

A post office called Walbert was established in 1895, and remained in operation until 1910.[2] The community's name is an amalgamation of the first names of Walter and Herbert Baur, the sons of an early postmaster.[3]
