Karl Hude (1860–1936) was a Danish classical scholar and professor at the University of Copenhagen. He was one of the most prolific editors of Greek prose for the Teubner and Oxford Classical Text series, producing critical editions of Thucydides, Herodotus, Lysias, Xenophon, and Aristotle's Athenaion Politeia. Hude's editions were characterised by careful manuscript collation and a thorough apparatus criticus that set standards for early 20th-century textual criticism.

Hude's editions, produced across the first three decades of the 20th century, typically offer a reliable critical text based on thorough examination of the manuscript tradition. His approach is moderately conservative, preferring transmitted readings over conjecture where possible. Hude contributed editions to both the Teubner and OCT series, and his texts of Thucydides and Herodotus remained standard for decades.
