Albin Meiche (* 1856 in Annaberg , † 1945 in Leipzig ) was a German photographer.

He came from the Upper Ore Mountains in Saxony and ran a photo studio in Annaberg on Buchholzer Strasse. He acquired the title of royal Saxon court photographer at an early stage. He gained national fame primarily through high-quality landscape photos from the region of the upper Zschopau valley up to Oberwiesenthal , which he sold on postcards. He sent Prince Bismarck a folder with selected photos from the Upper Ore Mountains . His photo studio was continued by his descendants until around 1975.
