Albert Jäger (8 December 1801, Schwaz – 10 December 1891, Innsbruck) was an Austrian priest and historian who specialized in Tyrolean history.
From 1826 he studied theology in Brixen, becoming ordained as a priest in 1829. In 1846 he was appointed professor of universal and Austrian state history at the University of Innsbruck. In 1849 he became director of the Benedictine gymnasium in Merano — two years later, being appointed professor of Austrian history at the University of Vienna.[1][2]
In 1854 he founded the Instituts für österreichische Geschichtsforschung (Institute for Austrian Historical Research), serving as its first director up until 1869.[2] From 1867 to 1871, he was a member of the Reichsrat.[3]
