Adolphus Ypey (4 June 1749 – 27 February 1822), also spelled Adolphus Ypeus or Adolf Ypey, was a Dutch botanist and Doctor of Philosophy and Medicine who graduated at the University of Franeker and stayed on to lecture in botany. He later lectured in Medicine at the University of Leiden.[1]

He was the son of professor Nicolaas Ypey. His graduate dissertation was entitled Dissertatio philosophica inauguralis de igne with academic advisor Jan Hendrik van Swinden.[1]
