Gottfried Joseph Gabriel Findel (born 21 October 1828 in Kupferberg, died 23 November 1905 in Leipzig) was a Masonic writer and publisher.
He went to high school in Bamberg in 1848 and attended Munich University, but was taken into custody in the following year for his part in the political movement in 1849.
Pardoned after ten months in prison, he abandoned his studies and devoted himself to the book trade in Heidelberg, where he also attended lectures at the university.
After working as co-editor of the Illustrierten Zeitung (Illustrated News) in 1858 he went into business with Rudolf Seidel, and with the Masonic newspaper Die Bauhütte (The Lodge) founded a publishing business.
His writings on Freemasonry are collected as J. G. Findel’s Schriften über Freimaurerei, 1882–85, 6 Bde.
