Karl Ludwig Ritter von Blume (29 June 1789 - 3 February 1862) was a German-Dutch botanist.

He was born at Braunschweig in Germany, but spent most of his professional life working in the Netherlands, where he was Director of the Rijksherbarium (state herbarium) at Leiden. His name is sometimes given in the Dutch language form Karel Lodewijk Blume, but the original Germanic spelling is the one most widely used in botanical texts.

He carried out extensive studies of the flora of southern Asia, particularly in Java, then a colony of the Netherlands. From 1823 to 1826 Blume was deputy director of agriculture at the botanic garden in Bogor (Buitenzorg) in Java.

The botanical journal Blumea is named after him.

The standard author abbreviation Blume is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.

Note regarding personal names: Ritter is a title, best translated as Knight, in the British sense of an hereditary knighthood, not a first or middle name.
