Heinrich Wilhelm Ferdinand Wackenroder (8 March 1798 Burgdorf, Hanover – 4 September 1854 Jena) was a German chemist.
In 1827 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Erlangen, becoming an associate professor the following year at the University of Jena, where he worked with Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780-1849). In 1836 he became a full professor of pharmaceuticals. For a period of time he was inspector of pharmacies in the Grand Duchy of Saxony.
In 1826 Wackenroder isolated corydalin from Corydalis cava and in 1831 isolated carotin from carrots.[1] In 1845 he discovered the Wackenroder solution, a polythionic acid.
