Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer (31 May 1755 – 28 June 1829) was a German botanist and entomologist.

Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer
Born	31 May 1755  Etzelwang
Died	28 June 1829  (aged 74) Hersbruck
Occupation	Botanist, entomologist

He was born at Etzelwang in the Upper Palatinate and died at Hersbruck, near Nuremberg. He was the son of Georg Wolfgang Panzer [de] (the elder, 1729-1805), one of the most distinguished and productive of German bibliographers, whose Annales Typographici were published between 1793 and 1803.[1]

A physician, he practised at Hersbruck. A celebrated botanist, he had a very species-rich herbarium.

He also assembled a very important insect collection which was the basis of a vast work Faunae insectorum germanicae initia (Elements of the insect fauna of Germany), published at Nuremberg between 1796 and 1813. Illustrated by Jacob Sturm (1771–1848), with more than 2,600 hand-colored plates of individual, lifesize insects, this work was issued in 109 parts over the 17-year period of its serial publication, a common pattern for illustrated natural history works in the 18th and 19th centuries.
