Albert Haueisen was a German painter and university professor. He was a late Impressionist, taught at the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Arts, and was a founding member of the Palatinate Artists' Association.
The son of an architect, he entered the Karlsruhe Art Academy at the age of 15. There he was a master student of Leopold von Kalckreuth and Hans Thoma. He later studied at the Munich Art Academy and returned to Karlsruhe in 1905 as a teacher and later director of the Art Academy.
In 1933, he resigned due to political influence at the art academy, but was briefly appointed head of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts for the Gau Westmark. He was succeeded in this position by the sculptor Theobald Hauck in 1934.
Haueisen's grave is located in the cemetery in Jockgrim in the district of Germersheim, where he had lived since 1905.
