Albert Romolo Broccoli, CBE (Hon) (April 5, 1909 – June 27, 1996) nicknamed "Cubby", was an American Academy Award-winning film producer who produced more than 40 movies, most of them produced in the United Kingdom, and often filmed at Pinewood Studios. Co-founder of Danjaq, LLC and EON Productions, Broccoli is most notable as the producer of the iconic James Bond films. He and Harry Saltzman saw the films from relatively low-budget origins to large-budget, high-grossing extravaganzas, and Broccoli`s heirs continue to produce new Bond films.

During his early period in Hollywood, Broccoli may have taken part in a bar room brawl which took the life of comedian Ted Healy. According to E. J. Fleming`s book The Fixers, Broccoli, his cousin, gangster Pasquale `Pat` DiCicco, and film star Wallace Beery fought with Healy and beat him to death. Fleming asserts that MGM executives Eddie Mannix and Howard Strickling, in an attempt to save the reputation of their star Beery, fabricated a story about college students attacking Healy, immediately followed by a four-month trip to Europe for Beery.
