Emanuel Bunzel (1828–1895), was an paleontologist.
In 1871, he described a skull fragment found in an Austrian coal mine in 1859 by colleagues Ferdinand Stoliczka and Eduard Suess as the type specimen for the dinosaur genus Struthiosaurus, the first discovered in the region. Another dinosaur he described initially as a species of Iguanodon ( I. suessii) has since been reassigned to the genus Mochlodon, also found in 1859 alongside Struthiosaurus. Also in 1871, he named the crocodylomorph Doratodon (now Doratodon), the pterosaur "Ornithocheirus" buenzeli and the theropod dinosaur Megalosaurus schnaitheimi, now believed to have been based upon remains referable to the metriorhynchidae crocodylomorph Dakosaurus maximus.Carrano, M.T.; Benson, R.B.J.; & Sampson, S.D. (2012). "The phylogeny of Tetanurae (Dinosauria: Theropoda)". Journal of Systematic Palaeontology 10(2): 211–300
Bunzel died in 1895, aged 66–67.
