Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox scientist Georg Adolf Keferstein (October 10, 1793 in Halle (Saale) - November 28, 1884 in Erfurt) was a German lawyer (most recently in Erfurt) and entomologist.

Georg Keferstein collected butterflies from his youth and published specifically on the history of entomology, for example about the silkworm in antiquity. An example is Der Bombyx oder Bombylius des Aristoteles als Seide hervorbringendes Insekt. Verhandlungen k.u.k. Zoolog.-Botan. Ges. Wien, 1882. He published in the Revue Entomologique edited by Gustave Silbermann , in Isis edited by Lorenz Oken , in the proceedings of the Imperial Zoological and Botanical Society and in the Szczecin Entomology Journal.

First descriptions from his extensive collection were mostly by Gottlieb August Herrich-Schäffer. He himself described Tritonaclia tollini amongst other species. The Keferstein collection is held by the University of Halle together with his valuable entomological library. Keferstein was a member of the Halle Masonic Lodge.
