Richard Zander (18 July 1855, Königsberg – 28 October 1918, Königsberg) was a German anatomist. He was the father of surgeon Paul Zander (1884–1955).

From 1876 he studied medicine at the University of Königsberg, where his influences were Karl Wilhelm von Kupffer and Ernst Neumann. He received his medical doctorate in 1881 and worked as an assistant at the institute of pathology in Halle and at the anatomical institute in Königsberg. In 1884 he obtained his habilitation for anatomy and in 1892 became an associate professor.[1] In 1912 he was named an honorary full professor of anatomy at the University of Königsberg. Until women were allowed to study medicine at the university, he conducted lectures for female students at the Institute of Anatomy. He also gave lectures at the Academy of Art.[2]
