Philipp Adolph Böhmer (26 August 1711 – 30 October 1789) was a Prussian physician and professor of medicine at the University of Halle.

He became chair of the anatomy department at the University of Halle, replacing Johann Friedrich Cassebohm in 1741.

He wrote a few books including a translation of Richard Manningham's compendium of obstetrics (1746) and a treatise De usu et praestantia forcipis anglicanae describing fenestrated forceps.

[1][2] Böhmer married Johanna Dorothea (1718–1761) daughter of Johann Christoph Naumann, and they had four children.

In 1786, he married Maria Sophie Caroline von Brandenstein (1739–1789), divorced from Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Wartensleben (1728–1798) which may have helped his appointment as personal physician to King Friedrich William II in 1787.
