Franz Ernst Brückmann (27 September 1697{{snd}}21 March 1753) was a German mineralogist born at Marienthal near Helmstedt. Having qualified as a physician in 1721, he practised at Braunschweig and afterwards at Wolfenbüttel (from 1728). In 1747 he was appointed medical assessor in Braunschweig.[http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd118515853.html Brückmann, Franz Ernst] In: Neue Deutsche Biographie (NDB). Band 2, Duncker & Humblot, Berlin 1955, {{ISBN|3-428-00183-4}}, S. 655 f.
His leisure time was given up to natural history, and especially to mineralogy and botany. He appears to have been the first to introduce the term "oolithus" to rocks that resemble in structure the roe of a fish;[https://books.google.com/books?id=1j7PAAAAMAAJ&dq=oolithus+Br%C3%BCckmann&pg=PA1 The Jurassic Rocks of Britain: Pub. by Order of the Lords ..., Volume 4] whence the terms "oolite" and "oolitic". He died at Wolfenbüttel.{{EB1911|inline=1|wstitle=Brückmann, Franz Ernst|volume=4|page=678}}
