Paul Carl Beiersdorf (26 March 1836 – 17 December 1896) was a German pharmacist from Neuruppin, Brandenburg.
He was founder of Beiersdorf AG in Hamburg.
In 1880 he founded the Beiersdorf Company, a Hamburg pharmaceutical operation where he had close business ties to dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna.
In 1882 Beiersdorf developed and patented a new type of medical plaster called Guttaperchapflastermulle (gutta-percha plaster gauze).
Today, Beiersdorf AG is a multi-national corporation that is based in Hamburg, and manufactures personal care products.
