Альберт Гюнтер

Альберт Гюнтер (; 3 жовтня 1830 — 1 лютого 1914) — німецький та британський зоолог.

Життєпис У 1857 році почав працювати у Британському музеї як іхтіолог. У 1875 році обійняв посаду хранителя відділу зоології Британського музею після смерті Джона Едварда Ґрея. Гюнтера вважають другим найпродуктивнішим систематиком рептилій (після Джорджа Альберта Буленджера) з описом понад 340 видів рептилійUetz P (2013). "Günther". The Reptile Database. http://www.reptile-database.org ..

Основною його публікацією є Catalogue of Fishes (1859–1870). Він також досліджував плазунів та земноводних у музейних колекціях. У 1864 році він заснував Record of Zoological Literature та працював редактор протягом шести років. Також він був одним із редакторів журналу Annals and Magazine of Natural History понад тридцять років. У своїй визначній роботі з анатомії гатерії він був першим, хто встановив, що рептилія гатерія не була ящіркою, а фактично єдиним живим представником абсолютно нової групи рептилій, яку він назвав Rhynchocephalia.
