Berthold Stein (1847–1899) was a Prussian botanist and lichenologist.[1][2] After working as a disciple[a] at the Botanical Garden in Berlin in 1865 he became superintendent[b] at the Innsbruck Botanical Garden. He held this position from 1873 to 1880, during which he also started to collect lichens. From 1880 to 1890 he was royal[3] superintendent at the University of Wrocław Botanical Garden. Based on a quote in 1879 by Stein himself[4] he can be considered as a student of Gustav Körber. His main area of interest was the flora of Silesia.[4][5][6]

He worked extensively on the taxonomy of the genera Masdevallia,[7] Pescatoria (as Pescatorea)[8] and Paphiopedilum[9] in the orchid family.
