Ferdinand Heine

Jakob Gottlieb Ferdinand Heine (9 March 1809 – 28 March 1894) was a German ornithologist and collector.

Heine had one of the largest private collection of birds in the nineteenth century. This is now housed at the Heineanum Halberstadt Museum in Halberstadt. Jean Cabanis wrote about the collection in Museum Heineanum. Verzeichniss der ornithologischen Sammlung des Oberamtmann Ferdinand Heine, auf Gut St. Burchard vor Halberstadt (1851).
