Walter Hugh Albaugh was a U.S. Representative from Ohio.
Born in Phoneton, Ohio, Albaugh attended both the public and high schools of his native city.

He went on to graduate from the law department of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio in 1914, and was admitted to the bar the same year whereupon he commenced practice in Troy, Ohio.
During the First World War he served in the United States Infantry as a private, unassigned, from May 28, 1918 until December 13, 1918, and he went on to serve as a member of the State house of representatives from 1921 until 1925.
