The King Albert Fountain on the Old Market in Plauen is a work of art by the sculptor Norbert Marten, which was installed in 2007. It is one of the few contemporary fountains that makes a reference to German history over exactly one hundred years (1907–2007).

The fountain is located in the city center in the immediate vicinity of the historic town hall.
