Auguste Nefftzer (born February 3, 1820 in Colmar , † August 20, 1876 in Basel ) was a French journalist.

Nefftzer studied theology in Strasbourg , then went to Paris , where he joined the editorial team of Émile de Girardin's "Presse" in 1844 , and in this paper dealt primarily with foreign politics and religious questions from the standpoint of neo-Hegelianism .

In 1857 he founded the Revue germanique with Charles Dollfus , but worked again for the "press" from 1858 until he broke away from it in 1861 and founded the Temps , a paper that knew how to achieve a special position within the liberal press . The events of 1870/71 put Nefftzer, who had always worked for rapprochement with Germany, in a crooked position, and tired of politics, he retired to Basel, where he died on August 20, 1876.
