Karl August Auberlen (19 November 1824 – 2 May 1864) was a German Lutheran theologian.
He studied in the seminary of Blaubeuren 1837-41, and theology at Tübingen 1841-45.
He became repentant in theology at Tübingen 1849, and professor at Basel 1851.
As a young man he was attracted by the views of Goethe and Hegel and enthusiastic for the criticism of Ferdinand Christian Baur; but he later became an adherent of the old Württemberg circle of theologians, of Johann Albrecht Bengel, Friedrich Christoph Oetinger, Lothar Roos, and others.
