Wladimir Peter Köppen (born Vladimir Petrovich Kyoppen (Russian: Влади́мир Петро́вич Кёппен); 25 September 1846 – 22 June 1940) was a Russian-German geographer, meteorologist, climatologist and botanist. After studies in St. Petersburg, he spent the bulk of his life and professional career in Germany and Austria.

Köppen made significant contributions to several branches of science, and coined the name aerology for the science of measuring the upper air / atmosphere.
