Johann Baptist Homann, född 20 mars 1664 i Oberkammlach, numera del av Kammlach, Bayern, död 1 juli 1724 i Nürnberg, var en tysk geograf och kartritare.
Biografi
Homann flydde ur ett kloster till Nürnberg, där han övergick till protestantismen. Han var från 1691 verksam som notarie och ägnade på sin fritid åt koppargravyr och kartritning. Hans verk fick ett positivt mottagande och han grundade därför ett kartförlag 1702. Därifrån utsände han efter hand omkring 200 kartor, huvudsakligen kopior av nederländska eller franska original, bland dem en stor atlas, i 126 blad, över hela världen (1716) och Tabula novissima totius Germaniæ (fyra blad), de bästa av hans 17 originalkartor, samt fickglober och åtskilliga mekaniska konstverk. Den tysk-romerske kejsaren Karl VI utnämnde honom till kejserlig geograf.

1730 Homann Map of Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the Baltics - Geographicus - Scandinavia-homann-1730.jpg
A detailed c. 1730 J. B. Homann map of Scandinavia. Depicts both Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states of Livonia, Latvia and Curlandia. The map notes fortified cities, villages, roads, bridges, forests, castles and topography. The elaborate title cartouche in the upper left quadrant features angels supporting a title curtain and a medallion supporting an alternative title in French, Les Trois Covronnes du Nord . Printed in Nuremburg. This map must have been engraved before 1715 when Homann was appointed Geographer to the King. The map does not have the cum privilegio (with privilege; i.e. copyright authority given by the Emperor) as part of the title, however it was included in the c. 1750 Homann Heirs Maior Atlas Scholasticus ex Triginta Sex Generalibus et Specialibus…. as well as in Homann’s Grosser Atlas .

This double-hemisphere world map features insets of the celestial northern hemisphere and the celestial southern hemisphere, both of which show the mythological figures and objects of the constellations. Windheads and illustrations of a volcanic eruption, earthquake, tides, water-spouts, and a rainbow decorate the four corners of the composition. The map shows California as insular and traces the sailing routes of the explorers Magellan, Olivier van Noort, William Dampier, Abel Tasman, and Juan Gaetano. Nuremberg cartographer and map publisher Homann and his family later produced a number of celestial and selenographical (lunar) charts in conjunction with the Nuremberg astronomer and mathematician Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1677-1750). Many of these charts were featured in Doppelmayr's Atlas coelestis, which Homann's Heirs published in 1742.
