Ferdinand Philipp von Lobkowicz (27 April 1724 – 11 January 1784) was a Bohemian nobleman, patron of the arts and musician.

[2] Upon his father's death in 1737, his elder brother, Wenzel Ferdinand, succeeded as the 5th Prince of Lobkowitz.

From 1743 onwards, the now ruling prince was able to devote himself entirely to his extensive studies with a focus on music in Vienna, building on his father's work with the orchestra.

Ferdinand, who was considered one of the best amateur violinists, was taught by Christoph Willibald Gluck and Franz Benda in Berlin.

[5] The Prince of Lobkowicz died on 21 December 1734 in Vienna and was succeeded by his only son, Joseph Franz.
