Leopold Gmelin (August 2, 1788 – April 13, 1853) was a German chemist.
Gmelin was the son of Johann Friedrich Gmelin.
He studied medicine and chemistry at Göttingen, Tübingen and Vienna, and in 1813 began to lecture on chemistry at Heidelberg, where in 1814 he was appointed extraordinary-, and in 1817 ordinary-, professor of chemistry and medicine.
Gmelin was born at Tuebingen in a well known family of naturalists.
His father was Johann Conrad Gmelin, an apothecary and surgeon.
Gmelin was the author of Historia Fucorum (1768), the first work dedicated to marine biology, dealing exclusively with algae and the first using the binomial system of nomenclature.
