Luise Klebs (13 June 1865 – 24 May 1931) was a German Egyptologist best known for a three-volume, scene-indexed corpus of ancient Egyptian reliefs and wall paintings covering the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms. Compiled largely at the Aegyptologisches Institut of the University of Heidelberg, her handbooks became widely used reference tools for comparative study of iconography, while the New Kingdom volume appeared posthumously in 1934.
