Amalie Haizinger, or Neumann-Haizinger, née Morstadt (6 May 1800 Karlsruhe - 10 August 1884 Vienna) was a German actress.
Amalie Haizinger debuted in 1810 at the Karlsruhe Theater. In 1816, she married the actor Carl Neumann. Her talent for profitably performing stage plays developed very rapidly. On tours, which extended as far as Paris, London and St. Petersburg, she found enthusiastic applause.
After the death of her first husband, she married the singer Anton Haizinger in 1827 and worked with him in Karlsruhe. There she concentrated on comedy projects. In 1836, a book was published about her. In 1846, she participated in an engagement at the Burgtheater in Vienna, where she worked in the stock role "funny old lady", until her death on 10 August 1884.
To celebrate her 50th Birthday, Johann Baptist Reiter painted a portrait of the actress, which today is located in the Schlossmuseum Linz.
She had two children with her first husband. Both Adolphine Neumann and Luise Neumann were notable actresses.
The name of the actress is memorialized in Wien 18 (Währing) in form of a road (Haizingergasse) and a high school in this street.
