Emmanuel Stupanus , occasionally Emmanuel Stuppan , (born December 13, 1587 in Basel , † February 26, 1664 ibid) was a Swiss physician .

Stupanus was a son of the physician Johannes Nicolaus Stupanus and his third wife Katharina Iselin. One of his grandchildren, Judith Stupanus, became the wife of the mathematician Jakob I Bernoulli .

From 1604 Stupanus studied philosophy with Esaias Colladon and Gaspard Laurent at the University of Geneva . In 1607 he returned to Basel and completed his studies with the title of bachelor's degree . He then began to study medicine at the University of Basel ; first with his father, then with Caspar Bauhin and Felix Platter . On his Grand Tour , Stupanus visited well-known and important universities in Germany, France and Italy. So he matriculated on September 27, 1612 in Padua . After his successful disputation with Petrus Ryff , he received his doctorate in 1617. He also heard from Jacob Zwinger (Greek), Heinrich Justus (philosophy) and Friedrich Castellio (rhetoric). In 1614 he became his father's substitute privately and from 1617 he was officially entrusted with this office. In 1620 he took over the chairs of his father and on March 28, 1620 Stupanus presented his inaugural lecture "De fraudibus Paracelsistarum".

Stupanus died at the age of 76 on February 26, 1664 in Basel and found his final resting place there.
