Gottlieb Conrad Christian Storr (June 16, 1749 in Stuttgart – February 27, 1821 in Tübingen) was a German physician, chemist and naturalist.

In 1768 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Tübingen, where from 1774 to 1801, he served as a professor of chemistry, botany and natural history. He is the taxonomic authority of the genus Mellivora, whose only species is the honey badger (Mellivora capensis).

Published works

In 1781 he performed extensive scientific investigations in the Swiss Alps, publishing "Alpenreise von jahre 1781" (1784–86, 2 volumes) as a result. Other noted written efforts by Storr include:

  • "Dissertatio inauguralis medica, de curis viperinis", 1768 (with Ferdinand Christoph Oetinger 1719–1772).
  • Entwurf einer Folge von Unterhaltungen zur Einleitung in die Naturgeschichte, 1777.
