Albert Poels ( Berchem , 7 April 1903 – Borgerhout , 23 August 1984 ) was an Antwerp sculptor , medalist and jewelery designer. He came from an artist family. Poels learned the trade from his father Jan Poels who was an ornamentist in the Statiestraat in Berchem. He studied at the academies of Berchem and Antwerp and at the National Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp.

Numerous animal images are known of him, owl mirrors , figures from literature and folklore, portraits of artists (including portrait reliefs by Cyriel Verschaeve and Joris Van Severen ), saints’ statues, tombstones and monuments.
