Johann Gottlob von Kurr (15 January 1798, Sulzbach an der Murr – 9 May 1870, Stuttgart) was a German pharmacist and naturalist, making contributions in the fields of botany and mineralogy.
He worked for several years as a pharmacist in Calw and other communities, then later studied medicine and surgery at the University of Tübingen, where in 1832 he received doctorates for both disciplines. From 1832 to 1870 he taught classes in natural history at the vocational school in Stuttgart (in 1841 it became known as a polytechnic institute). In 1828 he traveled to Norway, where he collected numerous botanical and mineralogical specimens, and later in his career, he performed investigations in the Swabian Alb with geologist Leopold von Buch and botanist Gustav Schübler. On his scientific excursions, he also journeyed to the Swiss Jura, the Alps, Mount Vesuvius and to numerous locations in Germany.
