Herbert Kaufmann (24 August 1920 – 27 November 1976) was a German Ethnologist, journalist, photographer and writer. He is known for his body of work concerning Africa, particularly – in the English-speaking world – his translated novel, Red Moon and High Summer (translated 2006), an adventure story set among the Tuaregs.
