Albertus Parisiensis (fl. 11461177) was a French cantor and composer, probably originally from Estampes, in the Arrondissement of Mirande. He was cantor at Notre Dame de Paris during the only time of his life which has been documented. He left a number of liturgical books to the cathedral. The only extant piece of his is the conductus Congaudeant Catholici.[1]
