Ferdinand Schichau (30 January 1814 – 23 January 1896) was a German engineer in Elbing. Elbing was in West Prussia, now Elbląg, Poland. He was born and died in Elbing.
He established Schichau and Co in Elbing, and built a shipyard in Pillau near Königsberg (East Prussia) (today Baltiysk, Kaliningrad Oblast). The Borussia, constructed by him, was the first screw-vessel in Germany. He constructed another large shipyard in Danzig (Gdańsk).
Schichau's name remains in the Schichau Seebeck Shipyard at Bremerhaven, Germany.
