Albert Geutebrück (6 January 1801 in Gotha – 13 March 1868 in Graz, Steiermark) was a German classicist architect and the director of the School of Building and Construction[1] at the University of Leipzig. He is most known for the building, the Augusteum.

Geutebrück constructed the Augusteum building on the Augustusplatz in Leipzig, Germany, which was built in 1836[2] on the site of the University of Leipzig and served as its main building.

Geutebrück was a member of the Leipzig Association of Art Friends[1] and an honorary member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).[3]
