William G. Boericke (25 October 1849 in Asch, BohemiaAustrian Empire – 1 April 1929 in San Francisco) was an Austrian-born American physician and ardent, influential exponent of homeopathy. He is known in the field today as the compiler and editor of the ''Pocket Manual of Homeopathic Materia Medica''. The ninth edition has endured as his most re-published version partly because of its then final inclusion of a mini-repertory by his brother, Oscar Eugene Boericke, MD, also a homeopathic physician.
