Käte Hamburger (September 21, 1896 in Hamburg – April 8, 1992 in Stuttgart) was a Germanist, literary scholar and philosopher. She was a professor at the University of Stuttgart.

Hamburger earned her doctorate in 1922 in Munich. Expelled by the Nazis because of her Jewish heritage, she immigrated to Sweden in 1934, where she lived until 1956, earning her living as a language teacher, journalist and writer. She resumed her university career on her return to Germany, writing about Thomas Mann and Rainer Maria Rilke, among others.
