Karl Abraham (; ) adalah seorang psikoanalis Jerman berpengaruh, dan kolaborator Sigmund Freud, yang menyebutnya 'murid terbaiknya'.

Kehidupan
Abraham lahir di Bremen, Jerman. Orangtuanya adalah Nathan Abraham, seorang guru agama Yahudi (1842 – 1915) dan istrinya (sekaligus sepupunya) Ida (1847 – 1929). Kajiannya dalam kedokteran membolehkannya untuk mengambil sebuah posisi di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Burghölzli Swiss, dimana Eugen Bleuler berpraktek. Setting rumah sakit tersebut awalnya memperkenalkannya kepada psikoanalisis Carl Gustav Jung.
