"Albertine" is a song by singer-songwriter Brooke Fraser, and the third single from her second studio album, Albertine. It was largely inspired by a Rwandan orphan, by the name of Albertine, whom Fraser met while there in 2005.

"Albertine" did not appear on any record chart, but it won Fraser the annual APRA Silver Scroll.
