Friedrich Schultze (12 August 1848 – 14 October 1934)[1] was a German neurologist and native of Rathenow, Brandenburg.

[2] In 1871 he earned his doctorate at Heidelberg, and afterwards spent several years as an assistant to pathologist Nikolaus Friedreich (1825–1882).

Schultze is remembered for his numerous medical publications involving neuroanatomical and neuropathological investigations that he performed.

In 1884 he was credited with being the first physician to describe a neurological disorder that later became known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

In 1891 with Wilhelm Heinrich Erb (1840–1921) and Adolph Strümpell (1853–1925), he founded the journal Deutsche Zeitschrift für Nervenheilkunde.
