Rudolf Helm (2 March 1872 – 29 November 1966) was a German classical philologist.
In 1897, he accepted the position of assistant to the Professor of Classical Philology at the Institute for Ancient Studies of the University of Berlin.
[1][2] He was suspended from teaching in 1933 from May to November because of mismanagement of club dormitory funds.
Helm retired temporarily from 1937 to 1945, until he returned to teaching as a Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Rostock.
[2] Helm edited all of the non-philosophical work by Apuleius, a task which took him 10 years to complete.
