Carl Christoph Wilhelm Theodor Albert Sprengel (30 September 1832, Wollershausen – 4 July 1900, Reval) was a Baltic-German painter, writer and professor, associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule. Although most of his works are portraits, he is also known for landscapes and historical scenes. He studied at the Kunstakademie Dresden and later transferred to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf where he studied under Christian Köhler and Theodor Hildebrandt. Sprengel worked as a drawing teacher at the Behmsche Lehranstalt in Vyborg from 1856 to 1866, during which time he was awarded the title of 'Free Artist' by the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. He later taught at various schools in Reval and gave public lectures on German art throughout the 1860s and 1870s.
