Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781-1833) was a German anatomist and, with Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, one of the founder of teratology (science of anomalies in the anatomical, congenital and hereditary organization of living beings).
He has largely been forgotten, but his name is well-known in the medical world as he remains attached to Meckel's diverticulum.
