Klaus Düwel (10 December 1935 – 31 December 2020) was a German philologist who specialized in Germanic studies. A professor at the University of Göttingen, he was recognized as one of the world's leading experts on Germanic Antiquity.
Düwel received his Ph.D. in 1965 under the supervision of Lange. With Lange, Düwel worked on the third revision of Rudolf Much's commentary on Germania. He completed his habilitation in 1972 with a thesis on Germanic religion. The preparation for his habilitation was funded with a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, which enabled him to conduct research in Scandinavia.
Following his habilitation, Düwel returned to the University of Göttingen, where he was appointed a professor in 1974. From 1978 to 2001, Düwel was a professor at the Seminator for German Philology at the University of Göttingen.
