Karl Moritz von Beurmann (28 July 1835 in Potsdam – February 1863) was a German explorer. His father, also named Carl Moritz von Beurmann (1802–1870), was a Prussian government official. He was trained in the Prussian military, becoming an officer in 1856. However, he soon became dissatisfied with military life, and within three years resigned his commission. In the meantime, he began learning Semitic languages with designs of traveling to lesser known regions of Africa. In 1860 he journeyed to northeastern Africa, where he explored the Nubian Desert and visited Kassala, Khartoum and the lands of the Bilen people. In 1861 he returned to Germany and published Reisen in Nubien und dem Sudan 1860 und 1861 ("Travels to Nubia and the Sudan in 1860/61") in Petermann's Geographische Mitteilungen.
