Johann Jakob Christian Donner (Krefeld, 10 October 1799 – Stuttgart, 28 March 1875) was a German classical philologist and translator.
His main work was a translation of the plays by Sophocles, which he published in between 1838 and 1839 (8th edition, 1875).
This translation formed the basis for Felix Mendelssohn's incidental music Antigone (1841).
Donner was also responsible for providing translations of works by Euripides, Aeschylus, Pindar, Aristophanes, Terence, Plautus, and Homer (Iliad and Odyssey).
