Gustav Uhlig (9 July 1838 in Gleiwitz – 14 June 1914 in Schmiedeberg im Riesengebirge) was a German educator and classical philologist. He was the father of geographer Carl Uhlig (1872–1938).

He studied classical philology at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, and from 1866 worked as a schoolteacher at the cantonal gymnasium in Aarau.
