Emil Zuckerkandl (September 1, 1849 in Raab, Hungary – May 28, 1910 in Vienna) was a Hungarian-Austrian anatomist. He was educated at the University of Vienna (M.D., 1874) and was an admiring student of Josef Hyrtl.[1] In 1875 he became privat-docent of anatomy at the University of Utrecht, and he was appointed assistant professor at the University of Vienna in 1879, being made professor at Graz in 1882. Since 1888 he has been professor of descriptive and topographical anatomy at the University of Vienna.

Zuckerkandl has contributed many monographs to medical journals. Among his works the following may be mentioned: "Zur Morphologie des Gesichtschädels" (Stuttgart, 1877); "Über eine Bisher noch Nicht Beschriebene Drüse der Regio Suprahyoidea" (ib. 1879); "Über das Riechcentrum" (ib. 1887); and "Normale und Pathologische Anatomie der Nasenhöhle und Ihrer Pneumatischen Anhänge" (Vienna, 1892).
