Alberto Crespo (born 16 January 1920 and died 14 August 1991) was an Argentine racing driver who attempted to qualify for the 1952 Italian Grand Prix driving a Maserati for the Swiss Enrico Platé team. After his racing career, he was involved in motorsport administration in Argentina.

He began his motor racing career after World War II, participating in long-distance road races in Argentina. He eventually began circuit racing with a privately entered Alfa Romeo car.

He began racing in Formula One in 1952, entering non-championship races that year. He finished 4th in his debut race at the Albi circuit. In August 1952, he joined Enrico Platé, which allowed him to enter in the Italian Grand Prix a month later. He failed to qualify for the event by a relatively narrow margin.

The following year, he entered his private Alfa Romeo into the non-championship Argentine Grand Prix where he finished 11th.

Upon retiring from motorsport, he founded an automotive accessories firm called Levas Crespo.
