Albrecht van Loo (The Hague, around 1472 - The Hague, January 5, 1525) was a Dutch Grand pensionary. [1] [2] [3]
Van Loo studied at the universities of Leuven and Orléans. Until 1505 he was city attorney of Dordrecht. At the Hof van Holland, Zeeland en West-Friesland, he was deputy secretary between 1505 and 1508, and councilor between 1510 and 1513, and then again between 1515 and 1524. From 1513 to 1524 he was State attorney (Grand pensionary) of the States of Holland. From 1515 to 1524 he was a Councilor in the Court of Holland.

Van Loo preceded Aert van der Goes as Grand pensionary of Holland. [4] [3]
Van Loo was a son of Albrecht van Loo, pensionary of Dordrecht (1505-1511) and Dieuwertje van Egmond van Cranenburch.
