Georg Ritter von Frauenfeld (3 June 1807 to 8 October 1873) was an Austrian naturalist born in Vienna and one of the leading scientists on board the Austrian frigate Novara during its round-the-world voyage. He was heavily involved in the development of the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, where he was a curator. He worked on all insect orders but mostly on the Diptera, the true flies. In 1851 he founded the Zoologisch-Botanische Verein, the Zoological and Botanical Society, in Vienna, and in 1869 he was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society.
