Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel (24 October 1811, Neuenhaus – 23 January 1871, Utrecht) was a Dutch botanist, whose main focus of study was on the flora of the Dutch East Indies.
He was head of the botanical gardens at Rotterdam (1835–1846), Amsterdam (1846–1859) and Utrecht (1859–1871). He directed the Rijksherbarium at Leiden from 1862. In 1866, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
