Heinrich Simon Ludwig Friedrich Felix Rehm (20 October 1828, Ederheim – 1 April 1916, Munich) was a German mycologist and lichenologist. He studied at the Universities of Erlangen, Munich and Heidelberg, earning his medical doctorate in 1852. During his career, he was a practicing physician in Dietenhofen (from 1854), Sugenheim (from 1857), and Windsheim (from 1871). In 1875, he became regional medical examiner in Lohr am Main.

Starting with 1869 until his death Rehm distributed exsiccata specimens in five series, one of them co-edited by Ferdinand Christian Gustav Arnold.
