Lorenz Müller (18 February 1868 in
Mainz – 1 February 1953 in
Munich) was a German
herpetologist.
Professor Lorenz Müller was known for his studies on the
Balearic Islandsspecies of the
genusPodarcis (wall lizards) during the 1920s, in which he described several new subspecies, including the now extinct
Ratas Island lizard, Podarcis lilfordi rodriquezi.
Together with his colleague Professor
Robert Mertens he made several studies about European amphibians and reptiles.
