The Albatros C.IX was a two-seat German military reconnaissance biplane of 1917, built by Albatros Flugzeugwerke. It had no central strut between the upper wing and the fuselage, which was uncommon at the time, and its top wing was swept while the lower wing was straight, another unusual feature. Only three were built. Manfred von Richthofen used one for personal transport, including a journey to meet Kaiser Wilhelm II in May 1917. A single 118 kilowatt Mercedes D.III inline piston engine gave a maximum speed of 155 kilometres per hour and a range of 385 kilometres, and the armament was two 7.9 millimetre machine guns.
