Albrecht Altdorfer (c. 1480 near Regensburg – February 12, 1538 in Regensburg) was a painter, the leader of the Danubian School in southern Germany, and a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer.

He was a landscape painter of religious and mythological representations but most notably for painting landscapes for their beauty and not as illustrating any story or parable. He was perhaps the first "pure" landscape painter.

His "Battle of Arbela" adorns the Munich Picture Gallery.
