'''Hugo Zukal''' (1845–1900) was an Austrian lichenologist and mycologist. Born in Troppau (now Opava in the Czech Republic), he graduated from high school there in 1859, and was afterwards employed as a botanist until 1864. From 1864 until 1872, he served in the Kaiserlich-Königlich army. After this, he attended the teacher training college in Trautenau (now Trutnov), and became a teacher in Freudental and Vienna. He has been credited for having introduced the term {{lichengloss|pallisade hyphae}} in an 1895 publication to refer to a microscopic arrangement of fungal tissue characteristic of the {{lichengloss|cortex}} in the lichen genus ''Roccella''.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mitchell |first=M.E. |year=2014 |title=De Bary's legacy: the emergence of differing perspectives on lichen symbiosis |journal=Huntia |volume=15 |issue=1 |pages=5–22 [15] |url=https://www.huntbotanical.org/admin/uploads/02hibd-huntia-15-1-pp05-22.pdf}}</ref> In 1898 he became a professor of phytopathology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. He died in Vienna in 1900.<ref name="Hertel et al. 2017"/>

Several taxa have been named to honour Zukal. These include the genera ''Zukalia'' {{au|Sacc. (1891)}}, ''Zukalina'' {{au|Kuntze (1891)}}, and the species ''Ascophanus zukalii'' {{au|Rehm (1896)}}, ''Cryptocoryne zukalii'' {{au|Rataj (1974)}}, ''Gloeopeziza zukalii'' {{au|Rehm (1896)}}, ''Humaria zukalii'' {{au|Rehm (1888)}}, ''Leucoloma zukalii'' {{au|Rehm (1886)}}, ''Penicillium zukalii'' {{au|Biourge (1923)}}, and ''Thelebolus zukalii'' {{au|Heimerl (1889)}}.<ref name="Hertel et al. 2017"/>
