Albion Keith Parris (1788-1857) was a federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Maine. He was also an associate justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court from 1828-1836.
He was nominated to the federal court by President James Monroe on January 27, 1818 to fill the seat vacated by David Sewall. Parris served on the court through January 1, 1822. He was its second judge.
The U.S. Senate confirmed him on January 28, 1818, and he was commissioned that same day.
When Parris was appointed to the court, he was only 30 years old. He was, however, already a member of the U.S. Congress. When he resigned from the court, it was to serve as Governor of Maine, a position he occupied for six terms, from 1822-1827.
He later served as Comptroller of the Treasury through the administrations of Presidents Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler and Polk.
Parris was a graduate of Dartmouth College, class of 1806.
