Joseph Andreas Buchner (28 November 1776, in Altheim – 13 December 1854, in Munich) was a German historian. He was the author of a highly regarded multi-volume work on Bavarian history.[1][2]

He studied theology at the Georgianum in Munich, and was ordained as a priest in 1799. From 1804 he taught classes in philosophy at the lyceum in Dillingen, then in 1811 relocated as a professor of history to the lyceum in Regensburg. In 1825 he became a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, and during the following year, was named a professor of Bavarian history at the University of Munich.[1]
