Philipp (Filip) Maximilian Opiz (5 June 1787 in Čáslav – 20 May 1858 in Prague) was a Czech-German forester and botanist.
Beginning in 1805 he served as a cameral-beamter in his hometown of Čáslav, later working in Pardubice (from 1808) and Prague (from 1814). In 1831 he became a Forstamtsconcipist (forestry official).[1]
He was the taxonomic authority of numerous plant species,[2] and the creator of many sets of exsiccatae.[3] In 1830 Carl Borivoj Presl named the genus Opizia in his honor.[4]
