Albert I of Habsburg (German: Albrecht I) (1255-1308) was a Duke of Austria and Styria from 1282 and King of Germany from 1298 until his assassination. He was the eldest son of King Rudolf I of Germany and Gertrude of Hohenberg. He is sometimes referred to as 'Albert the One-eyed' because of a war injury that cost him an eye.
