Johann Baptist Homann (1664 in Oberkammlach, Bavaria - 1724 in Nuremberg) was a German cartographer, geographer, engraver and publisher.
He was educated in a Jesuit school, but converted to Protestantism and worked as a notary in Nuremberg from 1687. He soon turned to engraving and cartography, and in 1702 he founded his own publishing house, which focused on publishing cartographic works and veduta.
He soon became one of Germany's leading cartographers and in 1715 was appointed imperial geographer to Emperor Charles VI and a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. Johann Baptist Homann died on 1 July 1724 in Nuremberg. His publishing house operated under the name Homann Erben until 1848.
