Georg Elias Müller (July 20, 1850 – December 23, 1934) was a significant early German experimental psychologist.
Born in Grimma, he completed his doctorate in 1873 under the supervision of Rudolf Hermann Lotze in Göttingen. In 1881 he succeeded to Lotze's Göttingen professorship and established one of the first few experimental psychology laboratories in the world (along with Wilhelm Wundt and Carl Stumpf). He was particularly prominent in reaction time research, as well as psychophysics and color theory.
