Berthold Delbrück (1842-1922) was a German linguist who devoted himself to the study of the comparative syntax of the Indo-European languages.

Delbrück was professor of Sanskrit and comparative linguistics at the University of Jena (1870-1912). In 1871 he published a study of the subjunctive and optative moods in Sanskrit and Greek, which was the first thoroughly methodical and complete treatment of a problem in comparative syntax. His great achievement, however, was preparing the three volumes on syntax in Grundriss der vergleichenden Grammatik der indogermanischen Sprachen (Outline of the Comparative Grammar of the Indo-Germanic Languages), published between 1893 and 1900.
