Otto Julius Bierbaum (June 28 1865 – February 1 1910) was a German writer.
Bierbaum was born in Grünberg, Silesia. After studying in Leipzig, he became a journalist and editor for the journals Die freie Bühne, Pan and Die Insel. His literary work was varied. As a poet he used forms like the Minnesang or the folksong and the anacreontics' style.
In 1897 Bierbaum published his novel Stilpe which inspired Ernst von Wolzogen to establish the cabaret Überbrettl in Berlin. His novel Zäpfel Kerns Abenteuer was an adaptation of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio. Bierbaum died at Kötzschenbroda near Dresden.
