Hermann Traube (September 24, 1860 – January 29, 1913) was a German mineralogist born in Ratibor, Silesia (presently Racibórz, Poland). He was the son of chemist Moritz Traube (1826-1894).

He studied at the Universities of Leipzig, Heidelberg, Breslau and Greifswald, earning his doctorate in 1884. At Breslau his instructors were Ferdinand Cohn (1828-1898) and Theodor Poleck (1821-1906).

In 1905 he became an associate professor at the University of Berlin, and later a professor in Greifswald. He was the author of a book on Silesian minerals called Die Minerale Schlesiens (1888). Other noted works by Traube include:

  • Beiträge zur Kenntniss der Gabbros, Amphibolite und Serpentine des niederschlesischen Gebirges, 1884 – To the knowledge of gabbros, amphibolites and serpentines of the Lower Silesian mountains.
  • Über den Ursprung des Materials der in Europa vorkommenden verarbeiteten Nephritobjecte, 1884.
  • Beiträge zur Kenntniss des Nephelins und des Davyns, 1894 – Contributions to the knowledge of nephelines and davynes.
  • Über das optische Drehungsvermögen von Körpern im krystallisirten und im flüssigen Zustande, 1895 – On the optical angle of rotation of bodies in crystallized and molten states.
