Hans Kauri (until 1935, Hans Mühlberg; May 30, 1906 – January 30, 1999) was an Estonian entomologist, zoologist, and politician.
He also worked with other groups of fauna, especially arachnids.
He had a strong impact on zoological studies at the University of Bergen.
One biographer characterized Kauri as follows: "in all areas he created a professional stimulating environment for both young and older researchers.
However, he was a very determined gentleman, who asserted his ideas and opinions with great strength."
