Theodor Ackermann (17 September 1825 – 22 November 1896) was a German pathologist born in Wismar. In 1852 he obtained his medical doctorate from the University of Rostock, obtaining his habilitation a few years later (1856) with a treatise on the physiological effects of emetics.
In 1859 he became an associate professor, afterward turning down a professorship in internal medicine at Dorpat, and instead, he accepted a position as a professor at the Institute of Pathological Anatomy and Experimental Pathology at Rostock in 1865. In 1873 he was appointed the Director of the Institute of Pathology at the University of Halle, where, in 1884-85 he served as rector.
In 1895 he was forced to resign due to health reasons, his replacement being Karl Joseph Eberth (1835-1926).
