Albert Teichner, also credited as Albert R. Teichner, was an American science fiction author active primarily in the 1960s and early 1970s. He published short fiction across the genre magazines of the period, including Cerebrum, Man Made, The Junkmakers, Sweet Their Blood and Sticky, World in a Mirror, The Real Thing, The Wellsprings of Space, The Happiness Rock, and The Right Side of the Tracks — several of which have since entered the public domain. His work belongs to the speculative, socially conscious strain of mid-century American science fiction. Cerebrum, his best-known story, centers on a covert government program that harvests the brains of leading intellectuals, a premise typical of the era's Cold War anxieties about surveillance, expertise, and state power. Beyond this bibliography little is reliably documented. The standard reference works record his magazine credits but not his birth and death dates, his education, or any career outside writing.
