Johannes Enschedé (10 July 1708 in Haarlem – 21 October 1780 in Haarlem) was a Dutch printer, owner of Royal Joh. Enschedé and collector.[1]

Enschedé belonged to the family that owned the company currently known as Royal Joh. Enschedé (founded by Izaak Enschedé)[2] and owned the company. Johannes had three sons, which joined him in the printing business: Johannes, Jacobus and Abraham. Johannes Enschedé collected old books, and was one of the people who tried to defend the opinion that the Haarlem book printer Coster was the original inventor of the bookprinting. He was member of Teylers Tweede Genootschap (Teylers Second or Scientific Society) from the founding in 1778 until his death.
