Johann Baptist Homann (20. března 1664 Oberkammlach – 1. července 1724 Norimberk) byl německý kartograf, geograf, rytec a vydavatel.
Život
Johann Baptist Homann se narodil 20. března 1664 v bavorské vesnici Oberkammlach nacházející se nedaleko obce Kammlach. Byl vychováván v jezuitské škole, avšak přestoupil k protestantismu a od roku 1687 pracoval v Norimberku jako notář. Záhy se začal věnovat rytí a kartografii, načež si v roce 1702 založil vlastní nakladatelství, které se zaměřovalo na vydávání kartografických děl a vedut.
Brzy se vypracoval mezi přední německé kartografy a v roce 1715 byl jmenován císařským geografem císaře Karla VI. a rovněž členem Pruské akademie věd v Berlíně. Johann Baptist Homann zemřel 1. července 1724 v Norimberku. Jeho vydavatelství fungovalo pod názvem Homann Erben až do roku 1848.

Mezi jeho přední dílo patří vydání atlasu Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt, jež byl vydán v roce 1716.

A detailed c. 1730 J. B. Homann map of Scandinavia. Depicts both Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states of Livonia, Latvia and Curlandia.
