Christian Friedrich Heinrich Wimmer (October 30, 1803 – March 12, 1868) was a German botanist and educator who was a native of Breslau.
In 1835 he received the title of professor, and from 1863 served as a Schulrat (education official).
He was author of several publications on Silesian flora, and specialized in the study of the willow genus Salix.
With Johann Christian Carl Günther and Heinrich Emanuel Grabowski he distributed an exsiccata-like series of duplicate specimens called Schlesische Gewächse.
[3] In 1854–62 Wimmer published an edition on the ancient Greek naturalist Theophrastus, titled "Theophrasti Eresii Opera quae supersunt omnia".
