Birgitta Bremer (born 17 January 1950), Swedish botanist and academic, is professor at Stockholm University, and director of the Bergius Botanic Garden.^[1]

Professor Bremer obtained her doctorate in botany in 1980 from Stockholm University, with the thesis "Taxonomy of mosses of the genus Schistidium".^[2]

In 1981 she was appointed docent at Stockholm University; 1983–1990 she was an instructor of systematics.

Between 1990 and 2000 she was systematic botany instructor; in 2000–2001 she served as dean of the department of systematics; 2000–2004 – professor of plant molecular systematics.

Since 2002 she has been director of the Bergius Fund and director of Botanical Garden.^[3] Since 2004 she has been a professor of systematics at Stockholm University.

On 11 February 2009 Professor Bremer, Professor Bergianus at the Bergius Foundation, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien, KVA).^[4]
