Bernard Siegfried Albinus (born Feb. 24, 1697, Frankfurt an der Oder, Brandenburg [Germany]—died Sept. 9, 1770, Leiden, Neth.) was a German anatomist who was the first to show the connection of the vascular systems of the mother and the fetus.

From 1721 until his death, Albinus occupied the chair of anatomy, surgery, and medicine at the University of Leiden. He is best known for the magnificent engravings in his Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani (1747; “Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body”). Together with Hermann Boerhaave, he edited the works of the physicians Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey.
