Ernst Zinner (2 February 1886 – 30 August 1970) was a German astronomer and noted historian of astronomy. He rediscovered the Comet Giacobini-Zinner, which had been previously discovered by Michel Giacobini in 1900. Zinner crater on the moon is named after him. He also mistakenly claimed that the Flammarion woodcut was a German 16th century image, rather than one of the French 19th century.
