Karl Albiker (16 September 1878 in Ühlingen-Birkendorf – 26 February 1961 in Ettlingen) was a German sculptor, lithographer and teacher of fine arts.
Albiker studied with Auguste Rodin in Paris.
From 1919 to 1945 he was a professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts.
His monumental statues, like those of Georg Kolbe, reflected National Socialist heroic realism.
