Franz Bücheler (June 3, 1837  May 3, 1908) was a German classical scholar, was born in Rheinberg, and educated at Bonn, where he was a student of Friedrich Ritschl (1806–1876).

In 1856 he graduated from the University of Bonn with a dissertation on linguistic studies of the Emperor Claudius. He held professorships successively at Freiburg (associate professor in 1858, full professor in 1862), Greifswald (from 1866), and Bonn (1870 to 1906).[1] At Bonn, he worked closely with Hermann Usener (1834–1905).

Both as a teacher and as a commentator he was extremely successful.[1] His research spanned the entirety of Greco-Roman antiquity, from poetry and sciences to the mundane aspects of everyday life.[2] In 1878 he became joint-editor of the Rheinisches Museum für Philologie.[1]

Among his editions are:

He wrote also Grundriss der lateinischen Deklination (1866); Des Recht von Gortyn (Frankfort, 1885, with Ernst Zitelmann 1852-1923); and supervised the third edition (1893) of Otto Jahn's Persii, Juvenalis, Sulpiciae saturae.[3]
