Alberto Gollan (born c. 1919) is an Argentine media businessman from Rosario, province of Santa Fe. He is the head of Television Litoral S.A., the largest media conglomerate in Argentina outside Buenos Aires, which includes the local TV channel Canal 3, and the radio stations LT2 (Radio Dos), FM Vida, and Radio Cataratas. Gollan started Television Litoral S.A. in 1965.
Gollan was the mayor of Rosario for four months, between 18 May and 23 September 1971, during the military dictatorship presided by Alejandro Agustin Lanusse. After the coup d'etat of 1976 that deposed Isabel Martinez de Peron and started the Proceso de Reorganizacion Nacional, he continued to support the military government. In a reception held on 1976-12-28 in the Officers' Casino, Gollan spoke to Commander of the 2nd Army Corps Leopoldo Galtieri in the name of the press: "We are proud to be able to stand by you and the force you represent in the task you are undertaking. We the journalists will always support this labor."
Through Television Litoral, Gollan started in 1977 the Ibero-American Advertising Festival , which has continued to be celebrated annually, with the participation of producers from Spain, Portugal and several Latin American countries.
