Georg Friedrich Knapp (March 7, 1842 – February 20, 1926) was a German economist and founder of the chartalist school of monetary theory, which takes the statist stance on money, claiming that it must have no intrinsic value and strictly be used as governmentally-issued token i.e. fiat money.

He was professor of statistics at the University of Leipzig from 1869 to 1874, and a professor at the University of Strasbourg from 1874 to 1918. He was also Rector at Strasbourg in the years 1891-92 and 1907-08
