Johann Andreas Wagener (1816-1876) was the forty-third mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, serving one term from 1871 to 1873.

In December 1849, 17,859 acres were purchased in the Pickens District, and the town was carefully laid out with a public square.

They built Fort Walker on Hilton Head island and defended it on November 7, 1861, until their gunpowder ran out.

Eventually, the opposition was granted a writ of mandamus by a state judge that ordered city council to meet on October 25, 1871, to hear the contest.

At the end of the proceeding, Judge Graham ruled against the election protesters and dismissed the action.
