Guido Bodländer (1855-1904) was a German chemist. After graduating from the University of Breslau in 1882, he became an assistant to Moritz Traube in his laboratory in Breslau. Later, Bodländer worked as a chemist in Bonn and Goettingen. In 1899 he became a professor of chemistry in Braunschweig. He was in line to succeed Walther Nernst as chair of physical chemistry of Goettingen, however Bodländer died at the age of 49 prior to attaining the position.

Bodländer is remembered for his work with Richard Wilhelm Heinrich Abegg and the theory of valence based on electrical affinities. Their findings created a new principle of inorganic chemistry.
