Werner Hirschmann (1921 - 1993) was a German acarologist (zoologist specializing in mites).

In 1951 he earned a doctorate from the University of Erlangen, with the thesis: "Subcorticale Parasitiformes und die Gattung Digamasellus Berlese 1905", but like many German acarologists, he earned a living as a high school biology teacher.

He described over 1400 taxa, but his methods of defining mite genera have not always been accepted.
