Max Hamburger (May 31, 1897 – February 3, 1970) was a German lawyer and legal scholar.

He was the author of a definitive handbook of the German law on good will and fair dealing, Treu and Glauben in Verkehr.

An Aristotelian scholar, he also authored Morals and Law; The Growth of Aristotle's Legal Theory.
