Knud Christian Andersen (29 April 1867 in Frederiksberg – last seen alive June 1918 in England) was a Danish zoologist.
Towards the end of the 19th century, Andersen first worked as an ornithologist and ran field studies on the Faroe Islands.
[1] In 1904, he was hired by the British Museum to research bats in the Pacific, in South-East Asia and in Queensland.
Andersen was elected fellow of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) in 1909.
[2] His colleague Oldfield Thomas submitted his final manuscript on his behalf and stated that Andersen expected "to be absent from his scientific work for some time."
