August, Prince von Lorensberg (1831-1900) was a Braslander nobleman. He was the son of Prince Ludwig II von Lorensberg.

Unlike his father and grandfather, he was a discreet man and spend most of his time away from Brasland, travelling around the world. He gathered an enormous collection of insects that he later donated to a museum. He was a self-taught entomologist and greatly contributed to clasiffy insects in Brasland.

In 1867, forced by duty, he married Princess Caroline von Isenborn. They had four children: August (born 1869), Hubertus (born 1870), Maria Appolonia (born 1872) and Gundakar (born 1875; unmarried, he was an entomologist like his father).

He died in 1900.
