Johann Heinrich Tobler (1777–1838) was a Swiss singer and composer of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, active in the formative period of Switzerland as a federal state.
Born in Trogen as the son of a butcher, he worked as Modelstecher (craftsman of artistic wooden Lebkuchen templates) in Speicher from 1792, from 1798 also as secretary to the local authorities.
He married Ursula Lerchenmeyer in 1803, and Anna Katharina Lindenmann in 1820.
He was a musical autodidact and became known as a composer and editor of song collections, a publicist and a poet.
In 1813, he also published a treatise of the early modern history of his home canton since partition from Appenzell Innerrhoden in 1597.
