Ludwig Ignaz Schupmann (born 23 January 1851 in Geseke (Westphalia), Germany; died 2 October 1920 also in Geseke) was a German professor of architecture and an optical designer. He is principally remembered today for his Medial and Brachymedial telescopes, reflecting-refracting telescopes with Mangin mirrors that eliminate chromatic aberrations while using common optical glasses. Used in early lunar studies, they are used now in double-star work.
The asteroid 5779 Schupmann is named in his honour.†
