Siegfried Kapper (Isaac Salomon Kapper, 1820 – 1879) was a Czech-German writer of Jewish background. Born in Prague he studied philosophy in his home town between 1836-1839 and later medicine in Vienna. After the studies he got employment of a medicine doctor in Karlovac, Croatia, at the time on the border of Austria and Ottoman Empire. Fascinated by the region and the language he later often travelled to the Slavic regions of the Ottoman Empire and to Hungary. In his later years he worked as a medicine doctor in Prague.
