Johann Heinrich Pott (6 October 1692 – 29 March 1777) was a Prussian physician, chemist, and a glass and porcelain technologist.
He examined the elements bismuth and manganese apart from attempting improvements to glass and porcelain production.
He spent two years along with two of his brothers as travelling evangelists for the Community of True Inspiration but he left the sect in 1715 and returned to study chemistry at Halle, receiving a doctorate in 1716 on sulfur under Friedrich Hoffmann.
He worked as a physician in Halberstadt before moving to Berlin in 1720 and became a professor of chemistry at the Collegium Medico Chirurgicum in 1724.
In 1753 he attempted to get his son-in-law Ernst Gottfried Kurella into a professorship and clashed publicly with Johann Theodor Eller whose student Brandes took the position.
