Carl Durheim, also known as Karl Durheim and Charles Durheim, (23 November 1810 – 30 January 1890) was a Swiss lithographer and an early photographer. He began working with daguerreotype in 1845 and changed to a paper printing process in 1849.[1] Between 1852 and 1853 Durheim created a series of photos of itinerants for the Swiss police, which is the earliest remaining collection of police photography.[2] Durheim produced many portraits of seated individuals.

Durheim was born in Bern, Switzerland. He died there on 30 January 1890.
