Albert Bitzius (4 October 1797 - 22 October 1854) was a Swiss novelist, best known by his pen name of Jeremias Gotthelf.
His best known work is the short novel The Black Spider (1842), a semi-allegorical tale of the plague in form of the titular monster that devastates a Swiss valley community; first as a result of a pact with the devil born out of need and a second time due to the moral decay that releases the monster from its prison again.
