Oliver Krüger (born 1973) is a German professor in Religious studies at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland).

His thesis was the first in-depth study of posthumanism and transhumanism that shed light on the philosophical, religious, and cultural contexts of these utopias.

Following his Ph.D. he worked on the significance of the Internet for the Wicca movement in a research project at the University of Heidelberg.
