Hans Philipp Werner, Freiherr von und zu Aufseß (1801–1872) was a German baron, antiquarian and lead founder of the Germanisches Museum in Nuremberg.

Born at Castle Unteraufseß into the Aufseß noble family, he studied law at Erlangen and was employed at the courts at Bayreuth and Gräfenberg.

He received his doctorate in law in 1822 and left public service, dedicating himself to the administration of the family estate and to the study of German antiquity.

His antiquarian studies were influenced by the ideals of Romanticism and nascent German nationalism of the time.

He died in Münsterlingen, Thurgau, succumbing to injuries he received from a mob of angry students when he visited the opening ceremony of Strasbourg University due to a case of mistaken identity, being taken for a "Francophile".
