Georg Wilhelm Richmann (1711–1753) was a German physicist and a pioneer in the study of electrical phenomena. He is best known for his experiments with electricity and for being one of the first to record the effects of lightning and atmospheric electricity. Richmann's most notable contribution came in the field of atmospheric electricity when he attempted to conduct experiments involving lightning by using a kites and metallic apparatus similar to those used by Benjamin Franklin.
