Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini (10 August 1797 – 18 February 1848) was a German botanist, Professor of Botany at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. He worked extensively with Philipp Franz von Siebold (assisting in describing the latter's collections from Japan), and his own work that identified plants in other areas, including Mexico. Siebold wrote his Flora Japonica in collaboration with Zuccarini. Seibold's death interrupted completion of the work that first appeared in 1835, finished in 1870 by F. A. W. Miquel (1811–1871), director of the in Leiden.
Zuccarini is commemorated by the botanical genus Zuccarinia (Rubiaceae), identified by Carl Ludwig Blume in 1827.BHL Taxonomic literature : a selective guide to botanical publications
