Karl Heinrich Adelbert Lipsius (19 January 1805, in Großhennersdorf – 2 July 1861, in Leipzig) was a German theologian, philologist and educator.
He studied philology and theology at the University of Leipzig, receiving his habilitation in 1827.
In 1832 he began work as a teacher of religious studies at the Thomasschule in Leipzig, where in 1847 he became conrector.
In 1861 he succeeded Johann Gottfried Stallbaum as academic rector at Thomasschule, but died soon afterwards in July 1861.
The Lipsiusstraße, a residential street in Reudnitz was named in his honour in 1908.
