Albert Jeremiah Beveridge ( October 6, 1862 – April 27, 1927 ) was an historian and United States Senator from Indiana. He was born in Highland County, Ohio, admitted to the Indiana bar in 1887 and practiced law in Indianapolis. He was known as a compelling orator, delivering speeches supporting territorial expansion by the U.S. and increasing the power of the federal government.

In 1899 Beveridge was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Republican. He supported Theodore Roosevelt's progressive views and was the keynote speaker at the new Progressive Party convention which nominated Roosevelt for U.S. President in 1912, the year that Beveridge left the Senate.

The rest of Beveridge's career involved writing about history. He was a member and secretary of the American Historical Association (AHA). His four-volume set The Life of John Marshall, published from 1916 to 1919, won Beveridge a Pulitzer Prize. He also wrote two volumes of an Abraham Lincoln biography which were published in 1928, the year after his death. That same year the AHA established the Beveridge Award in his memory, through a gift from his wife, Catherine Beveridge and donations from members.
