Hugo (Ugo) Schiff (26 April 1834 – 8 September 1915) was an Italian naturalized chemist.

He completed his dissertation (Über einige Naphthyl- und Phenylderivate) also supervised by Wöhler in 1857.

In the same year, due to political turmoil, Schiff left Germany in 1857 for Switzerland and the University of Bern.

Schiff moved to Italy in 1863, holding positions in Pisa and then the Florence Museum of Natural History.

At the University of Florence, the Hugo Schiff International Store House still exists today.
