Fedor Krause (1857-1937) was a German neurosurgeon who practiced medicine in Berlin.

Krause was a pioneer in the field of neurosurgery and is known for developing and describing many of the surgical approaches to different parts of the brain. Along with Otfrid Foerster, he is credited with introducing English physician Victor Horsley's techniques concerning epileptic surgery to Germany. Today the German Neurosurgical Society awards the Fedor Krause Medal for outstanding work in this profession.

The eponymous Hartley-Krause operation is named after him and surgeon Frank Hartley (1857-1913). This procedure involves an excision of the Gasserian ganglion and its roots to relieve trigeminal neuralgia.
