Max Bromme (18 August 1878, Grünberg, Silesia – 9 September 1974 in Frankfurt) was a German architect and horticulturist. He was the director of horticulture (from 1912 to 1945), and also director of the Palm House from 1932 to 1945 in Frankfurt. He envisioned first concepts to preserve the Nidda in 1925, by creating a surrounding area as a green free space between town center and the new settlements of the New Frankfurt-project, together with Ernst May. A well-known example of his work is the successful transition between city and landscape known as the Römerstadt.
