The University of Königsberg (German: Albertus-Universität Königsberg) was the university of Königsberg, East Prussia. It was founded in 1544 by Albert, Duke of Prussia, and was commonly known as the Albertina.

Following World War II, Königsberg was transferred to the Soviet Union, after the Potsdam Agreement, and renamed Kaliningrad. The Albertina was closed and the German population expelled from former East Prussia.

Today, the Immanuel Kant State University of Russia (IKSUR) in Kaliningrad claims to maintain the traditions of the Albertina.
