Friedrich August Körnicke (29 January 1828 – 16 January 1908) was a German agronomist and botanist born in Pratau (now a part of Wittenberg, Saxony-Anhalt). He was the father of agricultural botanist Max Koernicke (1874–1955).

From 1858 to 1867 he taught classes at the Landwirtschaftlichen Akademie Waldau (Waldau Agricultural Academy) near Königsberg. Afterwards he was successor to Julius Sachs (1832–1897) as professor of botany at the Agricultural Academy of Poppelsdorf in Bonn, a position he maintained until 1898.
Körnicke was a leading authority on cereal grains, especially wheat. At Bonn he conducted important investigations of agricultural crops, and performed systematic research involving improved varieties of grain. With agricultural scientist Hugo Werner (1839–1912), he published a landmark textbook on grain cultivation called "Handbuch des Getreidebaues".
