The Albatros C.ix was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft of the Albatros Aircraft Works from 1917. It had swept wings and had no bearing, central strut between the fuselage and upper wing, as was usual with biplanes. Only three machines of this type were built. Manfred von Richthofen is said to have used one of these machines.
