Fritz Mauthner (22 November 1849 – 29 June 1923) was a journalist and philosopher from Horschitz, Bohemia.

He became editor of the Berliner Tageblatt in 1895, but is best known for his Beiträge zu einer Kritik der Sprache (Contributions to a Critique of Language), published in three parts in 1901 and 1902. Ludwig Wittgenstein took several of his ideas from Mauthner[1], and acknowledges him in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922).[2]

Mauthner died in Meersburg.
