Agnes Bluhm (9 January 1862 – 12 November 1943) was a German physician, eugenicist, and winner of a Goethe medal.

She wrote that the "female psyche" made her gender predisposed towards working for "racial hygiene".

[2] In 1886 she fell in love with Alfred Ploetz who was already involved with another scientist named Pauline Rüdin.

Bluhm however kept Ploetz as a close friend throughout her life and they both shared similar views on racial purity and the benefits of eugenics.

[3] Bluhm had to retire from practising medicine due to problems with her ears but she redirected her efforts to medical research.
