Mayor Albert's Rebellion (Polish: bunt wójta Alberta) was a 1311–12 rebellion by the burghers of the Polish city of Kraków against Duke Władysław I the Elbow-high. The rebellion was led by Albert, the vogt or wójt (Latin: advocatus), who under Magdeburg Law was effectively mayor of Kraków. It ended with the victory of Duke Władysław and the punishment of Kraków townsmen.
