Friedrich August Johannes Loeffler (June 24, 1852 – April 9, 1915) was a German bacteriologist at the University of Greifswald. Among his discoveries was the organism causing diphtheria ("Corynebacterium diphtheriae") and the cause of foot and mouth disease (Aphthovirus). He also created a coagulated blood serum used for the detection of the bacteria.

The German Federal Research Institute for Animal Health on the Isle of Riems near Greifswald is named in his honor.
