Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach (born February 1, 1792 at Königsberg, Prussia; died November 11, 1847 in Berlin) was a German surgeon.

Dieffenbach studied theology at the universities at Rostock and Greifswald, and medicine at the Albertina university in Königsberg. From 1813 to 1815, he volunteered for the Befreiungskriege as a hunter. In 1818 he got involved in political student groups in Jena, and had to leave Königsberg in 1820 because of this. In 1822, he became doctor of medicine in Würzburg and started working as a surgeon in Berlin. In 1824, he married Johanna Motherby. In 1832, he became professor at the university of Berlin, and in 1840 director of the Charité department.

Dieffenbach is known as a poineer of organ transplantation and cosmetic surgery, as well as for his achievements concerning blood transfusion.
