Johann Parler (Czech: Jan Parléř, born about 1359 in Prague, died 1405 or 1406), also known as Johann Parler the Younger, was a Bohemian architect of German origin.

Johann Parler comes from a family Parler, whose members were architects in whole Europe. He was a son of the famous Gothic architect Peter Parler, who built the Saint Vitus Cathedral and Charles Bridge in Prague.

After his father Peter Parler died, Jan Parler worked eight years in Prague, continuing the works on the Saint Vitus Cathedral. Then he moved to Kutná Hora, where he was the first architect of the famous St. Barbara Cathedral in the first periode of its construction. The late Gothic Cathedral is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
