Eleazar Albin war ein britischer Naturforscher und Autor von Bildbänden über Vögel und Insekten.
Albin schrieb und illustrierte eine Reihe von Büchern, darunter A Natural History of English Insects (1720), A Natural History of Birds (1731-38) und A Natural History of Spiders and Other Curious Insects (1736). Sein Werk beruhte auf sorgfältiger Beobachtung und künstlerischem Talent. Eleazar Albin wurde als einer der großen Illustratoren entomologischer Bücher des 18. Jahrhunderts" bezeichnet.
Einige der Illustrationen in diesen Büchern stammen von Albins Tochter Elisabeth. Eleazar Albin selbst schrieb stolz über seine Zeichnungen, dass sie alle nach dem Leben gemalt wurden, mit der Genauigkeit einer Skizze, im Gegensatz zu den Skizzen anderer Wissenschaftler, die sie entweder aus dem Gedächtnis oder aus Erzählungen machten.
