Albert "Abbie" Brunies (January 19, 1900 - October 2, 1978) was an influential American jazz cornetist hailing from a well-known New Orleans musical family, which included his brothers George and Merritt Brunies. He was the leader of the Halfway House Orchestra, a prominent ensemble that performed at the Halfway House club in New Orleans from 1919 to about 1927. This group recorded for Okeh Records in 1925 and featured musicians from the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, including Charlie Cordella, Mickey Marcour, Leon Rappolo, Sidney Arodin, Bill Eastwood, Joe Loyacano, and Leo Adde.

Brunies continued to perform in New Orleans until the mid-1940s, after which he relocated to Biloxi, Mississippi. There, he played alongside his brother Merritt in the Brunie Brothers Dixieland Jazz Band, although this group recorded only sparingly. Brunies' contributions to jazz, particularly through his leadership of the Halfway House Orchestra, remain a testament to his role in the development of the New Orleans jazz scene.
