Johann Georg von Hahn (born 11 July 1811 in Frankfurt am Main; died 23 September 1869 in Jena) was an Austrian diplomat, philologist and specialist in Albanian history, language and culture.
In 1847, Hahn was named Austrian consul in Ioannina. He was transferred to Syros in 1851, and from 1869 was the consul-general in Athens. He is considered the founder of Albanian studies. He assembled and published source materials on Albanian language and culture, learned the Albanian language and demonstrated its membership in the Indo-European family of language.
