Johann Friedrich Wucherer (8 March 1803 – 26 December 1881) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, author, and co-founder of the Society of Inner (and Outer) Missions (der Gesellschaft für innere Mission) with Wilhelm Löhe, based in Neuendettelsau.

[1] During his years at Nördlingen and Baldingen, he began working with his friend Wilhelm Löhe to recruit aid to German Lutheran immigrants.

This work was instrumental in helping to establish the Missouri and Iowa synods in North America as well as Concordia Theological Seminary and Wartburg College.

Wyneken's Die Noth der deutschen Lutheraner in Nordamerika (English: The Distress of the German Lutherans in North America), Wucherer and Löhe established the Kirchliche Mittheilungen aus und über Nord-Amerika (English: Church News about and from North America) in order to raise support on behalf of the needs of German Lutheran immigrants in America.

In 1855 he also established the Freimunds kirchlich- politisches Wochenblatt für Stadt und Land (English: Free Mouth's Church and Politics Weekly Newsletter for City and Village).
