Paul Hermann Wilhelm Taubert (12 August 1862 – 1 January 1897) was a German botanist.
Taubert was born in Berlin, where he studied botany as a pupil of Ignatz Urban. While a student, he collected plants in Cyrenaica (1887). From 1889 to 1895 he was associated with the Botanical Museum in Berlin, working as a scientific assistant in 1893–95. Afterwards, he embarked on a botanical expedition to Brazil, where he conducted botanical investigations in the states of Pernambuco, Ceará, Piauí, Maranhão and Amazonas. He died in Manáos on 1 January 1897 (age 34).[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/33212221#page/189/mode/1up BHL] Taxonomic literature : a selective guide to botanical publications[https://books.google.com/books?id=-6NHAQAAMAAJ&dq=%22Taubert%2C+Paul%22+1862&pg=PA623 Just's Botanischer Jahresbericht, Volume 34, Issue 1]
He was the taxonomic authority of many plant species. In 1893 Karl Moritz Schumann named the plant genus Taubertia (family Menispermaceae) in his honor.
