Edmund Veckenstedt (1840–1903) was an educator, ethnologist and folklorist who published many works, sometimes under the pseudonym Heinrich Veltheim.

Albert Edmund Veckenstedt was born in Vehlitz, near Magdeburg, on 7 January 1840. His early career began as an educator, specializing in languages, but his attention turned to field of folklore and research into European ethnology. He was a member of anthropological and ethnological societies in Berlin, and published many papers on these and philological subjects in distinguished journals. He died in 1903 at Halle.

Veckenstedt dedicated his work Wendische Sagen, Märchen und abergläubische Gebräuche to Rudolf Virchow.

In 1883, he published two volumes of Samogitian folk tales. He did not speak Lithuanian or Samogitian and many of the tales were proved to be falsifications by Jan Aleksander Karłowicz [pl] and Mečislovas Davainis-Silvestraitis.[1][2]
