Jeremias (Johann) Ignaz Schiffermüller (2 November 1727, Hellmonsödt – 21 June 1806, Linz) was an Austrian naturalist and Jesuit teacher who took a special interest in the Lepidoptera. In order to describe the colours of butterflies, he also looked for a systematic approach to describing colours in nature and to standardize their names. The moth Tinea schiffermullerella was named after him but the name is no longer valid.
