Albert Percy Hough (1877 to 1960) was an English bowls player who won a gold medal at the 1930 British Empire Games, the first edition of the multi-sport event now known as the Commonwealth Games. He took the title in the rinks, or fours, event, playing alongside Ernie Gudgeon, James Frith and James Edney for England. Away from the green he worked as a law accountant and lived in Newcastle upon Tyne, and he married Florence Selina Shepherd. His place in the history of the sport rests on that 1930 victory, which made him one of the first Empire Games champions in lawn bowls.
