La kieserita es un mineral del grupo VI (sulfatos), según la clasificación de Strunz. Es un sulfato hidratado de magnesio. Se presenta en agregados granudos, incoloros y turbios de color blanco o amarillo. Se describió a partir de muestras obtenidas en Staßfurt (Salzlandkreis en Sajonia-Anhalt) analizadas por el mineralogista alemán en 1861, que lo dedicó al médico alemán y presidente de la Academia de Jena (Alemania), el gran profesor de medicina psiquiátrica Dietrich Georg von Kieser (1779-1862).
