Heinrich Zollinger (22 March 1818 – 19 May 1859) was a Swiss botanist.

Zollinger was born in Feuerthalen, Switzerland.

From 1837 to 1838 he studied botany at the University of Geneva under Augustin and Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle, but had to interrupt his studies due to financial problems.

In 1842 he moved to Java, working in a botanical garden, and on small government-financed scientific expeditions. He returned to Switzerland in 1848, but came back to Java in 1855 with his wife and two children.

The species Clavaria zollingeri described scientifically by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé in 1846 was named after Heinrich Zollinger, who researched the genus Clavaria, and collected the type specimen in Java.

Zollinger died in Kandangan, a village located near Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia. He had been suffering from the long-term effects of malaria.

Zollinger issued and sold two series of specimens which superficially resemble exsiccatae, namely Plantae Javanicae 1843–1847 and Plantae Japonicae 1847.


Specimens collected by Zollinger are cared for at Plantentuin Meise, National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, and Kew Herbarium.

The standard author abbreviation Zoll. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
