Albert "Bert" Streckfuss (22 September 1888 – 23 June 1974) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Streckfuss, a Beverley recruit, made two appearances for South Melbourne in the 1909 VFL season. He wasn't selected in South Melbourne's premiership team but was a member of the side which defeated West Adelaide to win the Championship of Australia.
In 1910 he played more regularly, making 16 appearances, two of them in the finals series. He was involved in a controversial incident that year in a game against Carlton, knocked unconscious by a George Topping king-hit, which resulted in a field invasion. The Carlton player was banned for 35 matches, but Streckfuss was fined (£10) as well, after it was later revealed in court that he had earlier struck Carlton's Andrew McDonald.
Streckfuss went to Williamstown in 1911.
During the 1920s, Streckfuss worked as a VFL boundary umpire. The 109 games that he umpired includes a stint as a goal umpire in 1930. He officiated in eight finals.
