Friedrich Ludwig Jordan,[1] russified as Fyodor Ivanovich Iordan[1] (13 August 1800 - 19 September 1883) was a Russian engraver and art professor.

[2] He was enrolled in the primary school courses at the Imperial Academy of Arts and, in 1819, entered the engraving class, serving as an apprentice of Nikolai Utkin.

[2] In 1834, he settled in Rome where, at the urging of Karl Briullov, he produced a huge engraving of the Transfiguration by Raphael, which took him twelve (some sources say fifteen) years to complete.

[3] As a result of this work, he became an honorary member of the Academy of Arts, Berlin and the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence.

Eight years later, he became a Rector in the painting and sculpture departments (the only time this position has been held by an engraver)[3] and, in 1876, was named a superintendent in the mosaic division.
