Johann Friedrich Anton Fleischmann (19 July 1766 – 30 November 1798) was a German composer.

[1] Born at Marktheidenfeld, Fleischmann studied at Mannheim with Ignaz Holzbauer and Georg Joseph Vogler before going to the University of Würzburg.

His main work was the singspiel Die Geisterinsel after Shakespeare's The Tempest, that premiered in 1798 in Weimar.

According to Goretzki/Krickenberg (see sources below), the song "Schlafe mein Prinzchen Schlaf ein", often attributed to Mozart (KV 350) or Bernhard Flies, was composed by Fleischmann.

Alexander J. Fleischmann translated the book Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy into German.
