Max Wolff (May 6, 1844 - June 25, 1923) was a German physician who was a native of Potsdam.

He studied medicine in Berlin, where he was a student of Rudolf Virchow. Following graduation in 1866, he became an assistant at the clinic of internal medicine at Rostock. From 1875 to 1882 he worked at the University of Berlin policlinic, and in 1900 became head of the policlinic for lung diseases. In 1890 he earned the title of associate professor in Berlin.

Wolff is remembered for his work with surgeon James Adolf Israel (1848-1926) involving the isolation of Actinomyces and research concerning the etiology of actinomycosis.[1]
