Günter Tembrock (7 June 1918 – 26 January 2011) was an East German zoologist who pioneered the field of bioacoustics and biorhythms.
Born in Berlin, he studied biology at the Humboldt University (then Friedrich-Wilhelm University) in 1937 and completed his doctoral work in 1941 on the biology of the carabid beetle Carabus ullrichi.
He established a facility for the study of animal behaviour in 1948 in the German Democratic Republic.
