Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller (April 25, 1725 – January 5, 1776) was a German zoologist. Statius Müller was born in Esens, and was a professor of natural science at Erlangen.
Between 1773 and 1776, he published a German translation of Linnaeus's Natursystem.
The supplement in 1776 contained the first scientific classification for a number of species, including the dugong, guanaco, potto, tricolored heron, umbrella cockatoo, red-vented cockatoo, and the enigmatic hoatzin.
He was also an entomologist. Müller died in Erlangen. He is not to be confused with Salomon Müller (1804–1864), also an ornithologist, or with Otto Friedrich Müller.
