Isidor Neumann (March 2, 1832 - August 31, 1906) was an Austrian dermatologist. He was a student at the Vienna School of Dermatology under Ferdinand Ritter von Hebra (1816-1880), where he received his doctorate in 1858. His following medical career was also spent in Vienna, as a professor and director of dermatology.
In his 1886 publication Vierteljahrsschrift für Dermatologie und Syphilis, he describes a type of pemphigus vulgaris, which would later become known as Neumann's disease. He was also the first to publish a detailed study (Über die senilen Veränderungen der Haut des Menschen) of prematurely aged skin caused by over-exposure to weather conditions. However it wasn't until several years later that Paul Gerson Unna gave it a name, calling it seemannshaut or "sailors' skin".
