Ernst Gustav Georg Teichmann (20 February 1869, Nienburg – 27 June 1919, Frankfurt am Main) was a German theologian and zoologist known for his investigations in the field of genetics.

He studied theology in Lausanne, Giessen, Berlin and Marburg, obtaining his license in theology at Bonn in 1896. From 1898 to 1900, he studied zoology at the University of Würzburg, afterwards continuing his education in zoology at Naples and Marburg. In 1909–10 he worked at the Institute for Maritime and Tropical Diseases in Hamburg, and from 1911 onward, served as a hydrozoologist and departmental head at the institute for hygiene in Frankfurt.[1]
