The Albatros C.IV was a German military reconnaissance aircraft built in the autumn of 1915 by Albatros Flugzeugwerke.[1] It was a single-engined biplane, and was based on of the Albatros C.III, with which it shared many parts . It was eventually abandoned, in favour of the C.V.

The C.IV shared the same fuselage, landing gear, and tail section with the C.III, but Albatros changed the design of the wings and cockpit; the pilot was located in the rear cockpit.[2] When it was tested in 1916, the expected results of the changes did not occur, and the project was abandoned in favour of a more prospective prototype, which became the Albatros C.V.[3]
The C.IV was armed with a forward-firing LMG 08/15 machine gun, and a rear-firing, Parabellum MG14 machine gun.
