Albertus Antonius Hinsz (also known as Albert Anthoni Hinsch; born 1704 in Hamburg; died March 17, 1785, in Uithuizen, Netherlands) was an organ builder in the Netherlands who continued the tradition of Arp Schnitger.

Hinsz possibly trained under Joachim Richborn and/or Franz Caspar Schnitger. He settled in Groningen in 1728 and married the widow of Franz Caspar Schnitger on December 28, 1732, taking over Schnitger's workshop. Hinsz built numerous organs in the provinces of Groningen and Friesland, maintaining the North German organ-building tradition. His organs are noted for their distinctive "golden" sound, characterized by the use of tierce mixtures. Visually, his organ façades were inspired by Arp Schnitger's designs. Hinsz had a lifelong friendship with Jacob Wilhelm Lustig, an organist at the Martinikerk in Groningen. Hinsz died during the construction of an organ in Uithuizermeeden and was buried in Groningen (Lutherse Kerk), where a memorial plaque commemorates him. After his death, his stepson Frans Casper Snitger Jr. and Heinrich Hermann Freytag took over the workshop, continuing the Schnitger tradition in the Netherlands into the 19th century. His apprentices carried on his work, significantly influencing the North Dutch organ culture in the next generation.
