Giuseppe (Andrea) Albani (September 13, 1750 – December 3, 1834) was an Italian Roman Catholic Cardinal. Although never a candidate for the Papacy, his role in the election of Leo XII, Pius VIII and Gregory XVI is well-known to Papal historians. Albani was born in Rome into a family noble known from producing many Catholic clergy: his great-uncle was Pope Clement XI, whilst three other relatives were also prominent cardinals. From 1830 Albani was the head of the Vatican Library. He died at Pesaro four years later.
