Rudolf Otto Sigismund Lipschitz was a German mathematician and professor at the University of Bonn from 1864. Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was his teacher. He supervised the early work of Felix Klein.

He wrote: Lehrbuch der Analysis; Wissenschaft und Staat; Untersuchungen über die Summen von Quadraten; Bedeutung der theoretischen Mechanik.
