Albert Arnheiter (born July 20, 1890 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein , † April 26, 1945 in Casalpusterlengo ) was a German rower who became Olympic champion in a four-man team in 1912 .

Arnheiter took second place in the German championship in 1909 with the eighth of the Ludwigshafen rowing club, behind the eighth of the Mainz rowing club. In 1910 Arnheiter rowed to third place in the German championship with the Ludwigshafen four-man without a helmsman . In 1912 Arnheiter, Rudolf Fickeisen , Hermann Wilker and Otto Fickeisen took second place behind a foursome from Mainz.

At the Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912 Arnheiter, Wilker, the brothers Fickeisen and helmsman Otto Maier competed in a four with helmsman. They defeated the Swedish hosts' only boat in the first race, had no opponent in the quarter-finals and beat the Danish boat in the semi-finals. In the semifinals, the German four had undercut the seven-minute limit, which also succeeded in the final against the British and was enough to win.
