Johann Georg Fischer (25 October 1816 – 4 May 1897) was a German poet and playwright.

After Johann finished his studies in Tübingen between 1831 and 1833, he began to work as a teacher assistant at different places, including Langenau and Ulm.

As a poet, Fischer may be regarded as the last noteworthy representative of the traditional Swabian School.

Fischer developed his unique style in poetry and writing dramas during his years in Stuttgart.

Some of his admirers were wont to call him “Der schwabische Frauenlob” (the Swabian praiser of women).
