Friedrich August Johannes Loeffler (24 June 1852 – 9 April 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 Friedrich Loeffler Institute on the Isle of Riems near Greifswald is named in his honor.
