Carl Johan Josef Ernst Wiman (March 10, 1867 – June 15, 1944) was a Swedish palaeontologist, the first professor of palaeontology and historical geology at Uppsala University, and the father of Swedish vertebrate palaeontology.[2]

Wiman was instrumental in the construction of the Palaeontological Museum of Uppsala University (now part of the Museum of Evolution), which contains the largest collection of Chinese fossil vertebrate material outside China.[2]

He is responsible for naming the genera Helopus (renamed Euhelopus because Helopus was already in use) and Tanius,[3] and the species Pentaceratops fenestratus[4] and Parasaurolophus tubicen.[5] He was also the first to suggest that the hollow cranial crests of lambeosaurine duckbill dinosaurs could be used as a horn-like noisemaker.[5]
