Max Gaede (29 November 1871 – 27 October 1946)[1] was a German engineer and entomologist[2] of international fame who described several hundred of new species of Lepidoptera, mainly African Noctuidae.

He became a member of the Internationaler Entomologischer Verein[3] in 1899. Many Lepidoptera species have been named after Max Gaede. Some of them are:
