Andreas Macke (born 1962) is a German physicist who studies the atmosphere. He is a professor of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Leipzig and works at the Leibniz Institute for Troposphere Research (TROPOS). He studied physics at the University of Cologne, earned a PhD in geosciences from the University of Hamburg, and habilitated in meteorology at Kiel University. He leads the Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Processes department at TROPOS. His research covers light scattering by non-spherical atmospheric particles, three-dimensional radiation transport in mixed‑phase clouds, and how clouds affect radiation in climate models. His ship-based observations of the marine troposphere are technically demanding.
