Eugen Kahn (born 20 May 1887 in Stuttgart, Germany^[1] – died January 1973 in Houston, Texas^[2]) was a German psychiatrist. His "habilitation" supervisors were Emil Kraepelin and Ernst Rüdin.^[3]

He argued Willenlos was a misnomer for the Haltlose, as the patients demonstrated plenty of "will" and simply lacked the ability to translate it into action.^[4] He was the first Sterling Professor of Psychiatry and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Yale 1930-1946.
