Paul Fritz Helmuth Gericke (1909–2007) was a German mathematician and a historian of mathematics.

His interest in the history of mathematics was aroused by the work of Joseph Ehrenfried Hofmann, whom he had met in Oberwolfach in 1945 and 1946.

In 1947, he began to hold lectures in Freiburg on topics related to the history of mathematics.

In 1964, against his stated will, he was chosen as deputy chairman of the German Society for the History of Medicine, Science and Technology.

He began his professional career working on differential geometry and the body of complex numbers, but from 1947 he devoted himself to subjects in the history of mathematics, publishing several books in this field.
