Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller (1725–1776) was a German zoologist.

Statius Müller was born in Esens and was Professor of Natural Science at Erlangen. Between 1773 and 1776 he published a German translation of Linnaeus's Natursystem. The supplement in 1776 contained the first scientific classification for a number of species, including the Dugong, the Guanaco, the Potto, the Tricolored Heron, Umbrella and Red-vented Cockatoos, and the enigmatic Hoatzin. He was also an entomologist.
