Albert Ehrenstein (23 December 1886 – 8 April 1950) was an Austrian-born German Expressionist poet.
His poetry exemplifies rejection of bourgeois values and fascination with the Orient, particularly with China. He spent most of his life in Berlin, but also travelled widely across Europe, Africa, and the Far East.
In 1930, he travelled to Palestine, and published his impressions in a series of articles.
Shortly before the Nazi take-over, Ehrenstein moved to Switzerland, and in 1941 to New York City, where he died.
