Georg Gustav Roskoff (1814–1889) was an Austrian theologian, professor of Old Testament exegesis at Vienna University from 1850 to 1884. His main work deals with the historical development of dualism in which he traces the figure of the Devil in human thought from the beginnings until his own time. His History of the Devil (1869) is still considered a standard work on the topic, although it has been criticized for repeating Gottfried Christian Voigt's unrealistic figure of nine million victims of the Early Modern witch-trials.

  • Georg Gustav Roskoff (* 31. August 1814 in Preßburg; † 20. Oktober 1889 in Obertressen bei Aussee, Steiermark) war ein österreichischer evangelischer Theologe, Professor für alttestamentliche Exegese und Regierungs- und Hofrat. Sein Hauptwerk galt der historischen Entfaltung des Dualismus und der kulturgeschichtlichen Darstellung von Teufelsvorstellungen von den Anfängen der Menschheit bis ins 18. Jahrhundert. Er hat dieses in dem als Standardwerk geltenden „Die Geschichte des Teufels“ niedergeschrieben. Georg Gustav Roskoff geriet in die Kritik, als er die heftig umstrittene Zahl von neun Millionen Hexenverbrennungen, die von erhoben wurde, aufgriff und ihr zur Verbreitung verhalf (diese Zahl gilt als überholt).
