August Albrecht Christian Tischbein

August Albrecht Christian Tischbein (29 July 1768, Hamburg - 10 September 1848, Rostock) was a German painter and lithographer from the Tischbein family of artists.

After 1803, he lived in the small town of Sternberg in Mecklenburg, where his son Albrecht was born; one of the few Tischbeins who did not pursue a career in art.

In 1814, he helped revise the map of Tarnow.

His architectural drawings and cityscapes of Lübeck and Rostock are considered to be of great historical importance.

His other sons, Paul and August Anton (1805-c.1867), followed the family tradition and became painters.
