Leopold Ackermann, known by his cloistral name as Petrus Fourerius (17 November 1771, Vienna - 9 September 1831) was an Austrian biblical archaeologist.
He entered on 10 October 1790 in the choral order of Klosterneuburg and studied from 1791-1795 in Vienna. In the following, he became priest and professor for oriental languages at the Stiftshof in Vienna, in 1800 also librarian. He earned his doctorate in theology in 1802, and in 1806 a professorship about the old testament, which he filled for 25 years.
