Albert Gleizes (8 December 1881 – 23 June 1953) was a French painter. He was one of the founders of cubism and a major influence in the School of Paris.

Gleizes and fellow painter Jean Metzinger were the authors of the first important book on cubism, named in French Du "Cubisme" (Of "Cubism") (1912).
