Samuel Gottlieb von Vogel (14 March 1750, Erfurt, Thuringia – 19 January 1837) was a German physician. He is seen as the founding father of German seaside resorts.
Vogel started studying medical science in Göttingen at the age of 14. In 1771 he attained a doctorate and in 1776 he achieved habilitation. He first started working as a physician in Göttingen, later moving to Ratzeburg. In the meantime he published several medicinal science books.
