August Friedrich Wilhelm Crome (Sengwarden, 8 June 1753 – 11 June 1833, Rödelheim) was a German economist and statistician, and Professor of Cameralism at the University of Giessen.
He is known particularly for his 1782 product map of Europe, which is considered by some as the earliest known printed economic map and thematic map.
