Albertus Henricus Wiese (1761 – 7 January 1810) was Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1805[a] to 1808,[1] during which time the United Provinces became, during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, first the Batavian Republic and then the Kingdom of Holland.

Dutch possessions in the Indies were under pressure from other European powers, particularly Great Britain, while local kings and princes took the opportunity of troubled times to reassert themselves.

Weakness of control from the homeland led to a growth of corruption, nepotism and lawlessness in the Dutch East Indies.

Albert Wiese was born in Bremen (in present-day Germany) in 1761.

To reassert control, the government sent the revolutionary General Daendels, who promptly took over from Wiese and tried to drive out the British.
