Albert Lindemann, PhD is a Jewish historian most known for his popular book Esau's Tears: Modern Anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews. Robert Wistrich, writing in Commentary, fiercely denounced the book, and the Washington Times also gave a negative review. One major criticism was that in describing Jewish history in Russia, it failed to mention the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Kevin B. MacDonald, however, used the book for his scholarship. Norman Ravitch also praised his work. Another scholar compared him to Jewish historian Jacob Katz, a comparison Wistrich furiously rejected.

Another book of his is The Jew Accused: Three Anti-Semitic Affairs (Dreyfus, Beilis, Frank), 1894-1915.

He is a professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara and teaches a course titled "Anti-Semite and Jew in Modern Europe and America, 1870 to Present".

Lindemann has written for The American Conservative.
