Eber Landau (November 8, 1878 – October 30, 1959) was a Latvian physician from Rēzekne.

In 1902 he graduated from the University of Tartu, and afterwards continued his studies of anatomy and histology at Villafrenk zoology station, at the histology laboratory in Munich, and in St. Petersburg under Peter Lesgaft (1837-1909). Between 1906 and 1912 he was an assistant prosector at the University of Tartu, and later worked at the Anatomy Institute in Berne.

In 1923 Landau founded the Department of Histology and Embryology at Kaunas University, and was head of the department until 1932. From 1932 to 1950 he was a professor at the University of Lausanne.
