Albert Venn Dicey (4 February 1835 – 7 April 1922) was a British Whig jurist and constitutional theorist. He is most widely known as the author of Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution (1885). The principles it expounds are considered part of the uncodified British constitution. He became Vinerian Professor of English Law at Oxford, one of the first Professors of Law at the LSE Law School, and a leading constitutional scholar of his day. Dicey popularised the phrase "rule of law", although its use goes back to the 17th century.

Albert Venn Dicey gave the traditional understanding of English Constitutional law its classical form with his book Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution, published in 1885. Using the analytical method of Austinite jurisprudence, Dicey studied the principles of parliamentary sovereignty and legal order in England and revealed for the first time the relationship between constitutional law and the constitutional traditions on which the cabinet system is based.

In his most important work, Lava and Public Opinion, he examined the impact of 19th-century individualism on the legal system and positive law of that period and revealed the mutual relationship between law and public opinion.

Albert Venn Dicey, who caused polemics with his views on current policy issues in the last years of his life, strongly opposed granting autonomy to Ireland in domestic affairs. His success in explaining his thoughts clearly and revealing the problems has caused his books to be considered classics in the field of constitutional law.
