SMS König Albert was a Kaiser class battleship built in Germany prior to World War I and which served in the High Seas Fleet of the German Imperial Navy during that war.
König Albert was the final ship of five which comprised the Kaiser class. It was the only vessel of the Imperial Fleet to be given the name SMS König Albert after King Albert of Saxony.
During the war, König Albert was assigned to the 3rd Battleship Squadron along with its class-mates. The ship was interned at Scapa Flow until the scuttling of the fleet on 21 June 1919.
The wreck was raised in the 1930s.
