Carl Christian Gottsche (1 March 1855 – 11 October 1909) was a German geologist. He is known for geological investigations of Schleswig-Holstein and neighboring regions.
He was born in Altona, Duchy of Holstein, Denmark. He studied geology at the Universities of Würzburg and Munich, obtaining his doctorate in 1878 with a thesis on Jurassic fossils from the Argentine Cordillera. In 1880 he became an assistant at the mineralogical institute in Kiel, receiving his habilitation the same year with a dissertation on sedimentary-drift in the Province of Schleswig-Holstein.
In 1881 he relocated to Japan, where he was tasked with completing the establishment of a mineralogical-geological institute at the University of Tokyo. At the university he also gave lectures. For much of 1884 he conducted research in Korea, afterwards returning to Germany, where in 1886 he was appointed curator of the mineralogical-geological department of the Natural History Museum in Hamburg. In 1900 he attained the title of professor, later becoming director of the mineralogical-geological institute (1907).
