For other persons with the cognomen "Albus" or "Albinus", see Albinus (cognomen).

Marcus Postumius Albinus Regillensis was an ancient Roman politician, of patrician family, in the late 5th century BC.^[1] He is mentioned by Livy as consular tribune in 403 BC,^[2] but this was demonstrated by later scholars to be an error.^[1] In reality he was censor in that year with Marcus Furius Camillus.^[3] In their censorship a fine was imposed upon all men who had remained single up until old age.^[4][5][6]
