Lance Naik Albert Ekka, PVC (27 December 1942 – 3 December 1971) was an Indian soldier.
Albert Ekka was born on 27 December 1942, in village Zari in Gumla, Jharkhand.
His parents were Julius Ekka and Mariam Ekka.
Ekka's family belonged to an Adivasi tribe.
Hunting was a common sport among the Adivasis, and Ekka was interested in it from his childhood.
With his experience of hunting in jungles, he was able to be a better soldier with his skilful use of ground and movements.
As he grew, Ekka developed interest for the army, and was enrolled in the Bihar Regiment on 27 December 1962.
After the 14th Battalion of the Brigade of the Guards was raised in January 1968, Ekka was transferred to that unit.
He saw action in counter-insurgency operations while in the North East.
He was killed in action in the Battle of Gangasagar, during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
He was posthumously awarded India's highest military award, the Param Vir Chakra, for his valour in the face of the enemy.

As the war broke out, 14 Guards was attached to the IV Corps.
The capture of Gangasagar, located 6 km to the south Akhaura in the Brahmanbaria District, was crucial for the advancement of IV Corps, and 14 Guards was tasked for that.
As the operation began, the unit placed itself south of Gangasagar, about 4 km from Akhaura railway station, and formed its defences.
The high ground around the railway station was their main defence, followed by anti-tank and anti-personnel mines.
During a patrol, Pakistani troops were found moving on the railway tracks.
Soon two companies of the battalion attacked the enemy positions along the track.
The Param Vir Chakra citation on the Official Indian Army Website reads as follows:
Lance-Naik Albert Ekka was posthumously awarded India's highest wartime gallantry award, the Param Vir Chakra.
In Tripura there is a eco park Albert Ekka Park named after him for his action to save Agartala from Pakistan during 1971 Indo-Pak war.
In 2000, on the occasion of 50th Republic day, the Government of India issued a postal stamp in his memory.
A native of present-day Jharkhand, he was honoured by naming the major intersection in front of Firayalal store in Ranchi as Albert Ekka Chowk, which also bears his statue.
A block (sub-district) in Gumla has also been created in his name - Albert Ekka (Jari) block.
