Johann Martin Abele (31 March 1753 – 3 September 1805) was a German publisher.
He acquired his doctorate in law from the University of Göttingen and began to hold lectures there.
He held different positions in civil service until the incorporation of the town to Bavarian Palatinate in 1802.
In 1791, he was awarded nobility by the Emperor and in 1798 he became Council of the Court in Öttingen-Wallerstein.
Abele owned a printing office and bookshop in Kempten and published various releases both from others and himself, as well as a journal Neueste Weltbegebenheiten, von einem Weltbürger (Worlds newest events, from a cosmopolitan).
