Agatha Streicher (1520 – 1581), was a German phycisian. She has been referred to as the first female physician in Germany.^[1]

She was not able to study medicine at the University because of her sex. However, she studied medicine privately, likely for her brother Hans Augustin, who was a medical doctor. She was acknowledged to have sufficient knowledge to practice medicine in her home town Ulm, and was allowed to take the Hippocratic Oath. She enjoyed widespead fame and was consulted by the Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor.

A statue, a memorial and a street has been named after her in Ulm. A novel has been written about her.
