Johann Christian Albers (13 March 1795, Bremen – September 1857, Stuttgart) [1] was a German physician and malacologist.
During his career, he served as Medicinalrath and Regierungsrath in Berlin.[2] As a zoologist, he was the taxonomic authority of the land snail family Orthalicidae [3] and of numerous land snail genera, including: Napaeus, Diaphera, Amphidromus, Scutalus, Drymaeus and Opeas.[4]
In the field of medicine, Albers published an edition of Karl August Wilhelm Berends' "Vorlesungen über die praktische Arzneiwissenschaft" ("Lectures on practical medical science") with the title "Handbuch der Nervenkrankheiten" (1840).[5]
