Al Falle (1943 – November 26, 2022) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Hootalinqua in the Yukon Legislative Assembly from 1978 to 1985.[1] He sat as a member of the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party.[2]

After his retirement from the legislature, he remained active in the Progressive Conservatives and the successor Yukon Party.[2] He was an active supporter of Yukon Party MLA Brad Cathers,[1] who quit the party in 2009 due to a disagreement with the leadership of then-Premier Dennis Fentie, resulting in Falle commencing a leadership challenge against Fentie in 2010 which he later withdrew.[3] He supported the election of party leader Darrell Pasloski in 2011.[2]

Falle died on November 26, 2022, at the age of 79.[4]
