Adolph Ferdinand Duflos (born February 2, 1802 in Artenay in the Loiret department, † October 9, 1889 in Annaberg in the Ore Mountains) was a university pharmacist.

In 1812 he came to Torgau with his uncle Wattebled, a military doctor . After his uncle died in the Russian campaign, he was adopted by the rector of the Lyceum, Benedict, and moved with him to Annaberg in 1814, where he was apprenticed to the Dresden pharmacist Friedrich Adolf Hertel. He became his assistant until he went to Breslau to see pharmacist Olearius in 1822. From 1830 to 1833 he studied natural sciences and chemistry at the University of Halle , then worked briefly as a pharmacist's assistant and then took over the management of the chemical factory in Langsch in Wroclaw.

In 1841 he received an honorary doctorate in pharmacy. In 1842 he was appointed administrator of the university pharmacy and at the same time qualified as a private lecturer in pharmacy. He was first assistant teacher at the pharmaceutical institute in Halle, then teacher of chemistry at the Friedrichs-Gymnasium in Breslau. In 1846 he became an associate professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Breslau . He later became a full professor of pharmaceutical chemistry , possibly thanks to Robert Wilhelm Bunsen during his time in Breslau in 1852. Duflos helped Bunsen obtain a collection of preparations, and he was Bunsen's travel companion.

In Breslau he was considered the father of pharmacy , was a knight and a privy councilor. He wrote his most important publications in the 1840s and after his retirement in 1869. From 1866 he was an honorary member of the natural research society "Isis" based in Dresden. He spent his old age with a befriended family in Annaberg.
