Eleazar Albin était un naturaliste britannique, auteur de livres illustrés sur les oiseaux et les insectes.
Albin a écrit et illustré un certain nombre de livres, dont A Natural History of English Insects (1720), A Natural History of Birds (1731-38) et A Natural History of Spiders and Other Curious Insects (1736). Son travail était basé sur une observation minutieuse et un talent artistique. Eleazar Albin est considéré comme l'un des "grands illustrateurs d'ouvrages entomologiques du XVIIIe siècle".
Certaines des illustrations de ces livres sont l'œuvre de la fille d'Albin, Elisabeth. Eleazar Albin lui-même a fièrement écrit à propos de ses dessins qu'ils étaient tous peints d'après nature, avec toute la précision d'une esquisse, contrairement aux croquis d'autres scientifiques, qui les réalisaient soit de mémoire, soit à partir d'histoires.
