Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis, apparently the son of the Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis who was consul in 466 BC, was a patrician politician of ancient Rome.[1] He was appointed consular tribune in 432 BC, and served as legatus in the war in the following year, under the dictator Aulus Postumius Tubertus. Livy mentions him leading a group of reinforcements at a critical moment.[2]
