Albert Sixtus (12 May 1892 – 24 February 1960) was a German children's writer. During a career spanning almost thirty years, Sixtus wrote over 100 books, including fairytales, picture books, young adult fiction and a book of poems. He is best known for his 1924 book Die Häschenschule (A Day At Bunny School), which was adapted into the 2017 animated film Rabbit School – Guardians of the Golden Egg. ‘Rabbit School’ was translated into English by Roland Freischlad, and published in 2009.[David R.

The Albert Sixtus Archive (German: Albert-Sixtus-Archiv) was created in 1997 in order to preserve his legacy and his work.
