Ferdinand Adolph Theophil Hueppe (24 August 1852 – 15 September 1938) was a German physician, bacteriologist and hygienist.

From 1872 to 1876, Hueppe studied medicine at the University of Berlin, afterwards serving as a military surgeon.

Hueppe promoted a völkisch type of racial hygiene in which Aryans and Jews were considered separate races.

[1] He argued that "Powerful Aryan elites" risked degeneration if they turned away from the omnivorous diet that had made their bodies and nation strong.

[2][3] His book on bacterial research, Die methoden der bakterien-forschung, was later translated into English and published in 1886 with the title "The methods of bacteriological investigation".
