Albert Durrant Watson (January 8, 1859 – May 3, 1926) was a Canadian poet, and physician.

He graduated from Victoria University, and Edinburgh University. He practiced medicine for more than forty years in the city of Toronto.[1][2]

Watson was born in a family of a reformer in politics and a Methodist in religion.[3] He held a series of seances from 1918 to 1920 by medium Louis Benjamin.[2] He joined the Bahá'í Faith in 1920, was active in the Toronto community, and publishing poems related to the religion in the 1920s in and beyond Bahá'í publications.[4]

The earliest known published assertion that we are stardust ("our bodies are star-stuff") is in Watson's 1913 book.[5][6]
