Gustav Schübler (15 August 1787 – 8 September 1834) was a German naturalist, and the founder of applied meteorology in Germany.

In 1817 Schübler became professor of botany, natural history and agricultural chemistry at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He worked in identifying and classifying new species, many with his colleague Georg Matthias von Martens (1788–1872).
